Discover the secret commands in Word 2007
Like any sophisticated application, Word 2007 accepts orders placed in the launch parameter. These commands used to control the startup of word processing and direct it to launch a behavior different from that defined by default. It can solve some critical problems that sometimes lead to systematic crash Word.
Launch commands are commands that can alter the normal start of the application. These commands are often expressed in one or more letters preceded by the sign "/".
To use them, several choices are available to you:
- Launch Microsoft Word from the Run menu by pressing [Windows] + [R] and then typing:
- Launch Word 2007 from the Start menu of Vista or Windows 7 by opening the menu with a brief pressure on the [Windows] and typing in the search field:
The available commands are:
- WIN WORD /safe
Very useful when Word refuses to launch or crashes erratically, this command tells the word processor to launch a "no fail" mode in which Word does not support any extension, no macro and no configuration file.
- WIN WORD /a
This command is very similar to the previous one. It loads WORD without any extension (add-in) is taken into account, and without the NORMAL.DOTX model is loaded.
- WIN WORD /r
Word asks to start reinstalling your keys in the registry. In fact, the command starts Word, then starts Office Setup to reset the keys of the registry used by Word, and then leave the Setup on a refurbishment.
- WIN WORD /q
This starts Word in preventing the display of the traditional home screen (also known as "Splash Screen").
- WIN WORD /t "model_name"
Very useful when using several different models for its documents, the command starts asking Word to open a blank respecting the model (instead of Word opens with its usual model NORMAL.DOTX). Must specify the full path to the model, e.g.
Quote:
WINWORD /t "d:\documents\models\estimate_model.dotx
- WIN WORD /f "filename"
Launch Word ordering the automatic opening of the document specified as a parameter. This is very useful to create a batch file that opens multiple documents at once, or to open automatically with Windows and Word or memory book that is written. The command is used as follows:
Quote:
WINWORD /f "d:\documents\my_memory.docx
- WIN WORD /m nameMacro
Very practical too, this command starts Word application to run automatically launch the macro specified as a parameter.
- WIN WORD /n
Force starting a new instance of Word without opening any documents.
- WIN WORD /w
Force starting a new instance of Word to open a blank document.
