Hi Olim,
As Clippy points out, yes you can choose to set to 'Not Available'
the Word features from the MS Office install in Add/Remove Programs
in the Windows control panel, however, from the symptoms you listed
that may not change things when you then reinstate them.
When you say a rogue font, where are you seeing this. Keep in mind
that Word only uses fonts it doesn't actually 'have' them as far as
the list of available fonts in a Word document go, but if you open
a document that used a font not on your PC Word will still list that
font as the one used when you look at the toolbars. It's to allow
you to return a document after editing to another user and keep the
called out formatting intact. You may want to check, with a document
or template open where you're seeing the font listed in
Tools=>Options=>Compatability=>[Font Substitution] to see if Word
has recognized that a font called for in the document is not present.
You may also want to check in the Font dropdown list on the toolbar
to see if that font is listed both above and below the 'recently used'
font list.
On the menu additions, Add-Ins sometimes do that, you may want to
close Word, use Start=>Search/Find and locate Normal.dot, rename it
Normal.old and restart Word to see if that clears it up. Menu
customizations tied to that template would be one possibility.
