In the case of the Word Preferences/Settingsįile, you will have to reset some preferences (and, for versions earlier than Word 2008, the AutoCorrect settings). If all is well, trash the old file(s).The file(s) will be recreated when you do so. Be sure to start from your UserName folder- ~ is shorthand for your user account.
Preferences or Settings files can become damaged, causing a variety of problems.įortunately these files are easy to test, but they change locations and names depending on your version of Word.
