Windows 2000 is most commonly used on Intel x86 and Pentium processors, with a DEC Alpha version rumoured. Unlike Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000 is not available for PowerPC or MIPS. Windows 2000’s user interface is very similar to Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0 with integrated Internet Explorer, or to Windows 98. It is available in four flavours: — Professional: the client version, meant for desktop workstations, successor to Windows NT Workstation. — Server: «entry-level» server, designed for small deployments, and departmental file, print, or intranet servers. — Advanced Server: high throughput, larger scale servers and applications, and small to medium scale websites. — Data Center Server: software for large-scale server clusters (in development as of 2000-03-14). New features in Windows 2000 include: — Active Directory. — Greatly improved built-in security mechanisms, including Kerberos-based authentication, public key support, an encrypting file system, and IPsec support. — Integrated web browser — Internet Explorer 5.0. — Integrated web server — IIS 5.0 — Terminal services for displaying application interfaces on remote computers (similar to X-Windows). — File protection that prevents user programs from accidentally deleting or overwriting critical system files. — Improved hardware support, including Plug-and-Play, DVD, IEEE-1394 (FireWire), USB, infra-red, PCMCIA, ACPI, laptop computers. — Improved user interface, including a single point to control the entire system. — Improved management tools, including remote administration. Minimum system requirements, according to Microsoft, are Pentium-133 MHz CPU, 64 MB RAM, 650 MB of hard disk space. These are for W2K Professional, others require more. Many operating systems compete with Windows 2000, including the Apple MacOS, Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, Sun Solaris, IBM AIX, Hewlett-Packard HP-UX, SGI Irix. Novell’s NDS also provides a service similar to Active Directory. Windows 2000 will be followed by Windows XP Professional and Windows 2002.

Additional resources

If you experience specific issues when you use Word, go to the following website to search for more information about your program version:

Detailed view of the options

The following section provides more detailed descriptions of these options.

Option 1: Insert your document into another file

To access a document but leave its final paragraph mark behind, follow these steps:

1. On the File menu, select New and then select Blank Document.
2. On the Insert tab, select Object in the Text group, and then select Text from File.
3. Select the file that you want to open and insert, and then select Insert.

Option 2: Start Word by using the /a switch

The /a («administrative installation») switch is a troubleshooting tool that is used to determine where a problem may exist in Word. The /a switch prevents add-ins and global templates from being loaded automatically. The /a switch also locks the settings files to prevent it from being read or modified. To start Word by using the /a switch, follow these steps:

1. Type Run in the Search box (in Windows 10, Windows 8.1, or Windows 8) or in the Start Search box on the Start menu (in earlier versions of Windows), and then press Enter.
2. In the Run dialog box, type winword /a, and then press Enter.

For more information about the /a switch, see the following Knowledge Base article:

826857 «Description of the «/a» startup switch in Word.»

If the problem does not occur when you start Word by using the /a switch, try the next option.

Option 3: Delete the Word Data registry subkey

Most of the frequently used options in Word are stored in the Word Data registry subkey. A common troubleshooting step is to delete the Word Data registry subkey. When you restart Word, the program rebuilds the Word Data registry subkey by using the default settings.

When you delete the Word Data registry subkey, Word resets several options to their default settings. For example, Word resets the «most recently used file» list on the File menu. Also, Word resets many of the settings that you may have customized in the Options dialog box.

Follow the steps in this section carefully. Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Before you modify it, back up the registry for restoration in case problems occur.

To delete the Word Data registry subkey, follow these steps:

Exit all Office programs.

Type regedit in the Search box (in Windows 10, Windows 8.1, or Windows 8) or in the Start Search box on the Start menu (in earlier versions of Windows), and then press Enter.

Locate the following registry subkey, as appropriate for the version of Word that you are using.

Word version	Registry
Word 2016	HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Word\Data
Word 2013	HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Word\Data
Word 2010	HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Word\Data
Word 2007	HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Word\Data
Word 2003	HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Word\Data

Select Data, and then select Export on the File menu.

Name the file Wddata.reg, and then save the file to the desktop.

On the Edit menu, select Delete, and then select Yes.

Exit Registry Editor.

If Word starts and works correctly, you have resolved the problem (a damaged Word Data registry key). You may now have to change several settings to restore your favorite options in Word.

If the problem is not resolved, restore the original Word Data registry subkey, and then try the next option.

Restore the original Word Data registry key

To restore the original Word Data registry subkey, follow these steps:

1. Exit all Office programs.
2. Double-click the Wddata.reg icon on the desktop.
3. Select Yes, and then select OK.

If restoring the Word Data registry subkey doesn’t work, go to the next option.

Option 4: Delete the Word Options registry key

The Word Options registry key stores options that you can set in Word. These settings are divided into default and optional groups. Default settings are created during the program setup. Optional settings are not created during setup. You can change both the default and optional settings in Word.

To delete the Word Options registry key, follow these steps:

Exit all Office programs.

Type regedit in the Search box (in Windows 10, Windows 8.1, or Windows 8) or in the Start Search box on the Start menu (in earlier versions of Windows), and then press Enter.

Locate the following registry subkey, as appropriate for the version of Word that you are running.

Word version	Registry
Word 2016	HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Word\Options
Word 2013	HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Word\Options
Word 2010	HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Word\Options
Word 2007	HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Word\Options
Word 2003	HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Word\Options

Select Options, and then on the File menu select Export.

Name the file Wddata.reg, and then save the file to the desktop.

On the Edit menu, select Delete, and then select Yes.

Exit Registry Editor.

If Word starts and works correctly, you have resolved the problem (a damaged Word Options registry key). You may now have to change several settings to restore your favorite options in Word.

If the problem is not resolved, restore the original Word Options registry subkey, and then try the next option.

To restore the original Word Options registry subkey

To restore the original Word Options registry key, follow these steps:

1. Exit all Office programs.
2. Double-click the Wdoptn.reg icon on the desktop.
3. Select Yes, and then select OK.

Option 5: Replace the Normal.dot or Normal.dotm global template file

This Option includes renaming the global template file so that Word does not find it as expected when it restarts. This forces Word to re-create the global template file. By doing this, you save the original file in case you have to restore it. Be aware that when you rename the global template file, several settings are reset to their default values, including custom styles, custom toolbars, macros, and AutoText entries. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you save the global template file and do not delete it.

Additionally, in certain situations, you may have more than one global template file. For example, this occurs if multiple versions of Word are running on the same computer, or if several workstation installations exist on the same computer. In these situations, make sure that you rename each global template file so that it clearly reflects the appropriate Word installation.

To rename the global template file, follow these steps:

Exit all Office programs.

Type cmd in the Search box (in Windows 10, Windows 8.1, or Windows 8) or in the Start Search box on the Start menu (in earlier versions of Windows), and then press Enter.

At the command prompt, type the following command, as appropriate for the version of Word that you are running, and then press Enter:

Word 2016, Word 2013, Word 2010, or Word 2007

Word 2003

At the command prompt, type exit, and then press Enter.

If Word starts correctly, you have resolved the problem (a damaged global template file). You may have to change several settings to restore your favorite options.

The old global template file may contain customizations that can’t be easily re-created. These customizations may include styles, macros, and AutoText entries. In this case, you may be able to copy the customizations from the old global template file to the new global template file by using the Organizer.

For more information about how to use the Organizer to copy macros and styles, press F1 in Word to open Microsoft Word Help, type rename macros in the Search box, and then select Search to view the topic.

If the problem is not resolved, restore the original global template file (see below), and then go to the next option.

Restore the original global template file

To restore the original global template file, follow these steps:

Exit all Office programs.

Type cmd in the Search box (in Windows 10, Windows 8.1, or Windows 8) or in the Start Search box on the Start menu (in earlier versions of Windows), and then press Enter.

At the command prompt, type the following command, as appropriate for the version of Word that you are running, and then press Enter:

Word 2016, Word 2013, Word 2010 and Word 2007

Word 2003

Type exit, and then press Enter.

Option 6: Disable the Startup folder add-ins

When you start Word, Word automatically loads templates and add-ins that are located in the Startup folders. Conflicts or problems that affect an add-in can cause problems in Word. To determine whether an item in a Startup folder is causing the problem, temporarily disable the registry setting that points to these add-ins.

To do this, follow these steps:

Exit all Office programs.

Start Windows Explorer. Type windows ex in the Search box (in Windows 10, Windows 8.1, or Windows 8) or in the Start Search box on the Start menu (in earlier versions of Windows), and then press Enter.

Type the following command in the address bar, as appropriate for the version of Word that you’re running and its installation type, and then press Enter:

Word version	Installation type	Path
Word 2016	64-bit C2R installation:	%programfiles%\Microsoft Office\root\office16\Startup\
32-bit C2R installation:	%programfiles% (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\office16\Startup\
64-bit MSI installation:	%programfiles%\Microsoft Office\office16\Startup|
32-bit MSI installation:	%programfiles% (x86)\Microsoft Office\office16\Startup\
Word 2013	64-bit C2R installation:	%programfiles%\Microsoft Office\root\office15\Startup\
32-bit C2R installation:	%programfiles% (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\office15\Startup\
64-bit MSI installation:	%programfiles%\Microsoft Office\office15\Startup\
32-bit MSI installation:	%programfiles% (x86)\Microsoft Office\office15\Startup\
Word 2010	%programfiles%\Microsoft Office\Office14\Startup\
Word 2007	%programfiles%\Microsoft Office\Office12\Startup\
Word 2003	%programfiles%\Microsoft\Office\Office11\Startup\

Right-click one of the files in the folder, and then select Rename.

After the file name, type .old, and then press Enter.

Make a note of the original file name so that you can restore the file, if it becomes necessary.

If you can no longer reproduce the problem, you have found the specific add-in that causes the problem. If you must have the features that the add-in provides, contact the vendor of the add-in for an update.

If the problem is not resolved, rename the add-in by using its original name, and then repeat steps 3 through 6 for each file in the Startup folder.

If you can still reproduce the problem, type the following path in the address bar of Windows Explorer, and then select OK.

For Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7, or Windows Vista

%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Word\Startup

For Windows XP

%userprofile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\Startup

Repeat steps 3 through 6 for each file in this Startup folder.

If the problem is not resolved after you disable the Startup folder add-ins, go to the next option.

Determine which COM add-in program is causing the problem

To determine the problematic COM add-in program, follow these steps:

Exit all Office programs.

Double-click the Wdaddin.reg icon on your desktop.

Select Yes, and then select OK.

Use one of the following procedures, as appropriate for the version of Word that you are running.

Word 2016, Word 2013, or Word 2010

1. On the File menu, select Options.
2. Select Add-Ins.
3. In the Manage list, select COM Add-Ins, and then select Go.

If an add-in is listed in the COM Add-Ins dialog box, clear the add-in check box. If more than one add-in is listed, clear only one add-in check box at a time. This procedure helps you determine which add-in is causing the problem.

1. Select OK to close the COM Add-Ins dialog box.
2. On the File menu, select Exit.

Word 2007

Select the Microsoft Office button, and then select Word options.

Select Add-ins.

In the Manage list, select COM Add-ins, and then select Go.

If an add-in is listed in the COM Add-Ins dialog box, clear the add-in check box. If more than one add-in is listed, clear only one add-in check box at a time. This procedure helps you determine which add-in is causing the problem.

select OK to close the COM Add-Ins dialog box.

select the Microsoft Office Button, and then select Exit Word.

On the File menu, select Exit.

If the problem is resolved when you start Word, you have determined which COM add-in is causing the problem. If you must have the features that the add-in provides, you must determine which add-in includes those features so that you can contact the vendor for an update.

If the problem is not resolved when you start Word, repeat steps 4 and 5 for each COM add-in that’s listed until you determine which add-in is causing the problem.

To restore the COM add-ins, repeat step 4, but select the check box for each COM add-in that you want to restore.

Option 8: Change the default printer

If the problem is resolved after you start Word, you have determined that the printer is causing the problem. If this is the case, contact the vendor to see whether there is an update for the printer driver.
