4. Click Data, and then click Export on the File menu in the Registry Editor.
5. Name the file Wddata.reg, and then save the file to the desktop.
6. Click Delete on the Edit menu in the Registry Editor, and then click Yes.
7. Exit Registry Editor.
8. Start Word.
Steps 4 and 5 are optional and would allow to import your settings if you did not want to have to go through and set them up again in case this procedure did not overcome the problem.
I had the same problem in Word and Excel. Here is what solved both problems.
Delete the Word Data registry key Most of the frequently used options in Word are stored in the Word Data registry key. A common troubleshooting step is to delete the Word Data registry key. The next time that you start Word, Word rebuilds the Word Data registry key by using the default settings.
To view these options in Word 2002 or Word 2003, click Options on the Tools menu.
To view these options in Word 2007, click the Microsoft Office Button, and then click Word Options.
Note When you delete the Word Data registry key, Word resets several options to their default settings. One such option is the "most recently used file" list on the File menu. Additionally, Word resets many settings that you customize in the Options dialog box.
To delete the Word Data registry key, follow these steps:
- Exit all Office programs.
- Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
- Locate the following registry subkey, as appropriate for the version of Word that you are running:
- Word 2002:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft \Office\10.0\Word\Data - Word 2003:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ Office\11.0\Word\Data - Word 2007:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ Office\12.0\Word\Data - Word 2010:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Word\Data 4. Click Data, and then click Export on the File menu. 5. Name the file Wddata.reg, and then save the file to the desktop. 6. Click Delete on the Edit menu, and then click Yes. 7. Exit Registry Editor. 8. Start Word.
I can get as far as the click Data but I do not have a data option. I ma running XP on windws 7
Thanks, this fixed the problem for me.
We have been encountering this problem sporadically throughout my company running Win7 x64 Office 2007 32bit.
I've tried the following with this issue:
Still have some systems that will not let go of this problem. I'm open to ideas. I'm a detail oriented guy and would really love a technical explanation of what's going on here.
