Repairing Word Installation Errors

If your copy of Word 2000 seems to have a few unexplainable bugs, a last-resort solution to your problems might be to check for installation errors. Word 2000 comes with a module for checking its own integrity. 

(Ah, what a feature--wouldnt it be nice if our politicians came with such capabilities?) First, shut down other running programs, then choose Help, Detect And Repair. Click the Start button, as well as Word will give your installation a look to see whether it finds problem. Be warned that this process takes at least 20 minutes to complete, so do not run the Detect And Repair option if youre in the middle of something important.
