Re: Problem with Refference Ribon



As an additional note, there are two Building Blocks.dotx files, a master
copy in the Office installation path and a personal copy in your profile.
You need to rename your personal copy of Building Blocks.dotx, not the
master. The master is used to create a new personal Building Blocks.dotx
which, since you did have a beta version installed, was probably not updated
to the RTM version and why you are encountering this issue.

Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for
assistance by email can not be acknowledged.

Consensus of opinion recommends:

1. Find and rename the building block.dotx as this is possibly corrupted.

Or if that doesn't resolve it...

2. Run Detect and Repair from the Options menu and if that fails,
reinstall from the original disks.

Basically, this isn't an optional install, so should be available. If gets
stored with the Office files but is used in the Building Blocks template.
If that is corrupt, deleting the BB template and it will be recreated when
you restart Word. If it doesn't, it suggests that the original file has
been corrupted that may need a reinstall but Detect and Repair may find it
corrupt and prompt for a reinstall.

Thanks a lot Terry. In fact I will show you a screen shot of what is
going on:

It WAS working for me, back when I was using B2R. I uninstalled that 3
weeks
ago though as it had run out and locked up. I then purchased Office 2007
Pro
Plus, and that is what I am running now. I had installed this on Friday
the
27.

I'll look into this as at the moment I have no idea why it should be

the
options available immediately Word 2007 is opened to a blank document.

This is the program itself, every time I open it.

I am using MS Word 2007 on Windows XP Pro.

My problem is that the citations & bibliography part of the
reference
ribbon
does not seem to work. It is grayed out, and the dropdown menu for
"Style"
says "Missing". When I click Insert Citation, I can only select
"Search
Libraries..." as the other two options are grayed out as well.
