Thread: I'm having a problem with my microsoft word

Get Open Office, it's free. I know that's a bit of a cop-out, but it works just as well as Microsoft Word and it doesn't fail as hard.

why a cop-out?

best tool for the job

I always found that OOo was terrible when it came to editing and saving PDF files. Maybe they've fixed it, but that was always the biggest beef with it that I had. I also found it very slow (probably due to tons of Java code) and hated the fact that it didn't use the universal spell/grammar checker. It has it's own so if you add a word in your web browser, it doesn't show up in OOo's database.

Version 3 allows you to edit PDF's as if they are normal documents

I've used it to edit PDFs, but I find that it's lacking compared to some of the other suites. Maybe I'm just not used to how OOo does it.

The OP wanted to know how to fix his MS Word, not suggestions for an alternative. But like I said, it works just as well.
