Reset Microsoft Word - Here's how

We explain how to reset Microsoft Word in this practical tip. Microsoft offers a user-friendly method for this.

Reset Microsoft Word with Fix-it-Tool

Microsoft has released a Fix-it tool to help users reset user options and registry settings in Word.

1. This way you do not have to manually intervene in the Windows registry and you do not risk any damage to your operating system. An incorrectly deleted key in the registry can cause Windows to stop working correctly or not start at all.
2. Download the tool. Make sure that you download the correct tool version depending on the Windows version.
3. Run the EXE file and follow the instructions. Word is reset to the factory settings.
4. Alternatively, you can of course uninstall Microsoft Office and then reinstall the software. However, this process takes a lot longer.
