My favorite new quick fix: MS Office Diagnostics
Rebooting cures a multitude of ills.
Over the past two years I've come to realize that the SharePoint server equivalent is to run the SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard (what a mouthful that is). However, my latest discovery is that there is a client equivalent as well.
If a user complains of JavaScript errors (e.g. "Library not registered"), of Excel 2007 documents opening in Excel 2003, or a handful of other SharePoint-related client-side issues, I now point them directly to the MS Office Diagnostic Tool. Here's the basic procedure:
1. Open Word 2007 (or Excel 2007).
2. Click the Office button.
3. Click the Word Options (or Excel Options) button on the resulting menu.
4. Select the Resources tab on the left.
5. Click the Diagnose button.
6. Start the diagnostic tests and follow the prompts.
