The easiest way to determine this is to take the document to a different computer running another copy of Microsoft Office and attempt to open the document there. If it works, then it’s likely that your installation of Office is the problem, not the document. If it fails, it’s likely the document itself is at fault. Below the reset section in the Office Advanced Options (shown above) is an uninstall link. +

-Even on my 2012 vintage test machine, it was done in under a minute (on a healthy Office installation, I cheerfully confess). When the process [[http://topsite.otaku-attitude.net/index.php?a=stats&u=christelsaul99|Repair Microsoft email client]] completes, the "Done repairing" window appears, as shown in Figure 6.
