Hi Linda,
In another thread, you mentioned the Detect and Repair option of Office Help.
That led me to read about it, and I see a mismatch between what Help says and
what the option itself offers.
Help says, "Choosing this option will discard many of your customized settings
and restore default settings", but the option includes a checkbox that appears
to allow the user to opt out of resetting all the defaults.
I ran D & R with the "discard customized settings" unchecked, and I am happy
to report that very few changes (of any kind) are apparent. It did substitute
Outlook for Outlook Express and it enabled instant messaging, but all my other
stuff is still intact. Please confirm that this is an omission in the Help
info.
I'm a little disappointed that D & R didn't provide feedback such as a log
file or other message to tell me what it did change. Is there an option to
allow viewing changes? When it completed, it did tell me that it was
successful. I just don't know in detail what it was successful in doing.
Thanks for mentioning D & R.
