My MS-Office 2007 seems to have problems all the time. It doesn’t matter if I am running Word or Excel or even Outlook. They often have issues of crashing and stopped responding. Is there a way that I can repair MS-Office? I have tried un-installing and re-installing the program but that doesn’t have effect. Please send some help. Many thanks.Â

I did not notice that it was as simple as that. Thanks sean for your extensive help.
Additionally from the above solutions, you can also run the Detect and Repair feature on Office 2007. Just click on Start and type appwiz.cpl from the search box and then press Enter. If you are using XP, just click on Start and then Run and type appwiz.cpl. Click the MS Office Edition 2007 that you wish to amend and then click Change. And then click Repair and Continue. Follow the on-screen instructions.
If the above steps doesn't help, you may also need to uninstall Office 2007 completely and then perform a clean install to re-install it back.
