Then in Windows, click ‘Start’ and then ‘Run’ and type %appdata%\Microsoft\Templates\ into the Run / Search programs box. Tried that.Ĭhange the name of your default template. OK, a less invasive suggestion is to go to %appdata%\Microsoft\Templates\ and rename normal.dotm and force its re-creation. But I didn’t want to toast my customisations to suit one product.Īlso, I could download and run - but do I want to do that? What’s it going to do to my settings? Website suggested I uninstall other Add-Ins. Looked for disabled items in the drop down. Went to Manage COM Add-Ins in the drop-down at the bottom of the Add-Ins page Looked for it as an Add-In (File → Options → Add-Ins) Did not launch the ‘getting started’ guide. Made sure Windows update was not running. I checked for previous versions (there were none) and made sure Office was not running, and no components were running in the background. I downloaded the full installer ( PerfectItSetup.msi) instead of just the web installer, since I guessed I might be running it over and over again (…). I used the Control Panel to remove PerfectIt, then rebooted. They emphasise ‘without running any other programs’. Eventually got down to ‘try uninstalling, restarting and reinstalling’ option. Went to their website and followed the instructions ( here) to find it in the Add-Ins list and so on, no luck. It is very reliable, but one day recently I opened up Word and PerfectIt 3 was simply gone from the toolbar. I use it on all my documents, whether my own or prepared for a client. PerfectIt is a really valuable editing tool that helps with consistency and style checking.
