Office 2016 MAC Where is the (new) Microsoft User Data folder Hi, previously you wonderfully could always include the Microsoft User Data folder to your backup and if there was some trouble, the defective DB could be simple be replaced by the 'old' one. In a nutshell, to get the Microsoft User Data folder out of your Documents folder, just move it to your user's Library/Preferences folder. Do this while Office isn't running, and the next time you launch an Office app, the folder will stay right where you put it.

Summary
This article describes various methods that you can use to reset user options and registry settings in Microsoft Office Word.
There are two basic types of options that you can define in Word. These options are as follows:
When you troubleshoot unusual behavior in the program or in a document, first determine whether the problem might be caused by formatting, options, or settings. If the behavior occurs in multiple documents, we recommend that you try to reset Microsoft Word to the program's default settings.
How to reset user options and registry settings in Word
To have us reset user options and registry settings in Microsoft Word for you, go to the 'Here's an easy fix' section. If you prefer to reset user options and registry settings in Microsoft Word yourself, go to the 'Let me fix it myself' section.

Warning Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require that you reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk.
To manually reset a registry key, you must first delete it. To do this, follow these steps.
Important Always export a registry key before you delete it. This step is important because you may have to restore the functionality that is provided by the key.
After you delete a registry key, and then you restart the program, Word runs the Setup program to correctly rebuild the registry key. If you want to rebuild the registry key before you run the program, repair your installation by following the steps in the 'Repair Word (Office)' section.

The difference between the 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER' location and the HKEY_USER' location is that the first applies only to the current user of the system, and the second is the default location for all users. However, Word entries are the same for both locations. Therefore, any change that is made to one location is automatically reflected in the other location.

Repair Word (Office)
Word can detect and repair problems associated with Setup. This feature uses the Windows Installer to correct problems with missing files and to repair registry settings.
You can use the following methods to repair or reset Word files and values:
Method 1: Use the 'Detect and Repair' or 'Microsoft Office Diagnostics' feature
Note
This method is the least aggressive mode of repair. If this method does not resolve the problem, you may still have to use one of the other methods.
To run the Detect and Repair feature in Word 2003 and in earlier versions of Word, click Detect and Repair on the Help menu in Word. The Detect and Repair feature fixes and repairs Word. All files, registry entries, and optional shortcuts for all Office programs are verified and repaired. If you run Detect and Repair from Word, all other Office programs are also checked. This feature performs only a checksum.
The Detect and Repair feature can also restore the Word program shortcuts on the Start menu. To restore the Word program shortcuts, click Help, click Detect and Repair, and then click to select the Restore my shortcuts while repairing check box.
If Detect and Repair does not correct the problem, you may have to reinstall Word. The Reinstall feature in the Maintenance Mode dialog box performs the same action as Detect and Repair, except that Reinstall copies a file when the files are of equal versions. Detect and Repair does not copy over the file when the installation file has the correct version and checksum.
Note
The Detect and Repair feature does not repair damaged documents or damaged data keys in the registry or in the Normal template.
If a file that Word uses at Startup is missing, the Windows Installer automatically installs that file before it starts the program.
In Word 2007, run the Microsoft Office Diagnostics feature. To do this, click the Microsoft Office Button, click Word Options, click Resources, and then click Diagnose.
In Word 2010, repair Word or the installed Office suite in Control Panel.
Method 2: Repair Word in Maintenance Mode setup
Note
This method is a moderate mode of repair. If this method does not resolve the problem, you may still have to reinstall Word.
The Maintenance Mode Setup process is similar to the process found in earlier versions of Word. The Maintenance Mode Setup process allows you to repair, add or remove features, and remove the program. 'Repair' is a feature in Maintenance Mode that finds and then fixes errors in an installation.
To perform a Maintenance Mode repair, follow these steps:
Method 3: Reinstall Word (Office)
Note
This method is the most aggressive mode of repair. This mode resets Word to its default settings, except for settings that are stored in your global template (Normal.dot or Normal.dotm). To do this in Word 2003 and in earlier versions of Word, follow these steps:
Microsoft User Data Mac 2016 Version
For more information about Word 2007 or Word 2010, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
924611 How to install the individual 2007 Office features or to repair the installed 2007 Office programs
Templates and add-insGlobal Template (Normal.dotm or Normal.dot)
To prevent formatting changes, AutoText entries, and macros that are stored in the global template (Normalm.dot or Normal.dot) from affecting the behavior of Word and documents that are opened, rename your global template (Normal.dotm or Normal.dot). Renaming the template lets you quickly determine whether the global template is causing the issue.
Microsoft User Data Mac 2016 Review
When you rename the Normal.dotm template in Word 2007 or later or the Normal.dot template in Word 2003 and in earlier versions of Word, you reset several options to the default settings. These include custom styles, custom toolbars, macros, and AutoText entries. We strongly recommend that you rename the template instead of deleting the Normal.dotm template or the Normal.dot template. If you determine that the template is the issue, you will be able to copy the custom styles, custom toolbars, macros, and AutoText entries from the Normal.dot template that was renamed.
Certain types of configurations may create more than one Normal.dotm template or Normal.dot template. These situations include cases where multiple versions of Word are running on the same computer or cases where several workstation installations exist on the same computer. In these situations, make sure that you rename the correct copy of the template.
To rename the global template file, follow these steps:
Add-ins (WLLs) and templates in the Word and Office Startup folders
When you start Word, the program automatically loads templates and add-ins that are located in the Startup folders. Errors in Word may be the result of conflicts or problems with an add-in.
To determine whether an item in a Startup folder is causing the problem, you can temporarily empty the folder. Word loads items from the Office Startup folder and the Word Startup folder.
To remove items from the Startup folders, follow these steps:
COM add-ins
COM add-ins can be installed in any location, and they are installed by programs that interact with Word.
To view the list of COM add-ins in Word 2010, click the Microsoft Office Button, click Options, and then click Add-Ins.
To view the list of COM add-ins in Word 2007, click the Microsoft Office Button, click Word Options, and then click Add-Ins.
To view the list of installed COM add-ins in Word 2003 and in earlier versions of Word, follow these steps:
If add-ins are listed in the COM Add-Ins dialog box, temporarily turn off each add-in. To do this, clear the check box for each listed COM add-in, and then click OK. When you restart Word, Word does not load the COM add-ins.
Use the Registry Options utility
You can use the Registry Options Utility to examine and change Word settings in the Windows registry. The Registry Options Utility is located in the Support.dot template.
The Support.dot template is not included in Word 2007 or later versions.
For more information about the Registry Options Utility, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Summary of Word options and where they are stored
Note In the following table, 'Template' refers to either the Normal.dot template or a custom template.
AutoCorrect lists are shared between Office programs. Any changes that you make to the AutoCorrect entries and settings when you are in one program are immediately available to the other programs. Additionally, Word can store AutoCorrect items that are made up of formatted text and graphics.
Information about AutoCorrect is stored in various locations. These locations are listed in the following table.
