Microsoft Word "Repair" Error

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hello:

Although one of our GP 2013 R2 (12.00.1920) users was able to click "OK" to the error and proceed with generating Microsoft Word documents out of GP, the error stated "An error occurred and this feature is no longer functioning properly.  Please run Setup and select 'Repair...' to restore this application.

In general, how do you eliminate this error with Word integration?  The steps below indicate that a registry setting can alleviate this.  Should these steps be followed?

Thanks!

John

  • Exit Word 2010.
  • Start Registry Editor.
  • In Windows 7 or Windows Vista, click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Continue.
  • In Windows XP, click Start , click Run , type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK .
  • Locate and then click to select the following registry subkey:

  • After you select the subkey that is specified in step 3, point to New on the Edit menu, and then click DWORD Value.

    RE: Microsoft Word "Repair" Error

    If any Word user is facing corruption in its Word documents (.DOC or .DOCX), he/she must try a few easy tricks. The tricks I'm sharing here can help you open corrupt Word file or repair it without using any 3rd paid tool. First you should try to open Word document: 

    • in OpenOffice Writer tool. It can open corrupt/damaged Word file, but only if corruption is minor.
    • via Open and Repair feature of Word program. It's a built-in repair feature that can repair Word document and open it. 

    If you can't open Word document, then you should try to recover its content. How? 

    • You can use "Recover Text from Any File" Converter of Word feature of MS Word program.
    • If this doesn't work for you, you should try to insert corrupt document into a new document. 

    Let me share this blog post here - Repair Word Document by using 4 Easy Manual Tricks | N. Sem's Blog

    Before you can purchase any paid software, you should try the manual tricks shared in the above blog post. I hope the shared information would be helpful here. 

    Thanks and best regards.
