Note
To provide a unified and streamlined customer experience, Azure Information Protection client (classic) and Label Management in the Azure Portal are being deprecated as of March 31, 2021. This time-frame allows all current Azure Information Protection customers to transition to our unified labeling solution using the Microsoft Information Protection Unified Labeling platform. Learn more in the official deprecation notice.
Note
Use these instructions to help you classify and protect your documents and emails. If you need to only classify and not protect your documents and emails, see the classify-only instructions. If you are not sure which set of instructions to use, check with your administrator or help desk.
The easiest way to classify and protect your documents and emails is when you are creating or editing them from within your Office desktop apps: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook.
However, you can also classify and protect files by using File Explorer. This method supports additional file types and is a convenient way to classify and protect multiple files at once. This method supports protecting Office documents, PDF files, text and image files, and a wide range of other files.
If your label applies protection to a document, the protected document is not suitable to be saved on SharePoint or OneDrive. These locations do not support the following for protected files: Co-authoring, Office for the web, search, document preview, thumbnail, and eDiscovery.
Copy this password (without the spaces) and enter this password when Outlook prompts you for a password. Sync icloud with microsoft outlook for mac. .Go to the website from your browser and enter your Apple ID and password.If you've already turned on two-factor authentication, you'll receive a code on one of your devices. Otherwise, turn on two-factor authentication.In the Security section, under APP-SPECIFIC PASSWORDS, select Generate Password.Enter a name for your password, such as Outlook, and select Create.Apple will display an app password for you. Enter this code to continue.
Tip
Ask your administrator about migrating your labels to unified sensitivity labels that are supported for these locations when SharePoint is enabled for sensitivity labels.
Safely share a file with people outside your organization
Files that are protected are safe to share with others. For example, you attach a protected document to an email.
Before you share files with people outside your organization, check with your help desk or administrator how to protect files for external users.
For example, if your organization regularly communicates with people in another organization, your administrator might have configured labels such that these people can read and use protected documents. If that's the case, select these labels to classify and protect the documents to share.
Alternatively, if the external users have business-to-business (B2B) accounts created for them, you can use your Office app to set custom permissions or use File Explorer to set custom permissions for a document before you share it. If you set your own custom permissions and the document is already protected for internal use, first make a copy of it to retain the original permissions. Then use the copy to set the custom permissions.
Using Office apps to classify and protect your documents and emails
Use the Azure Information Protection bar or the Protect button on the ribbon to select one of the labels that has been configured for you.
For example, the following picture shows that the document hasn't yet been labeled because the Sensitivity shows Not set on the Azure Information Protection bar. To set a label, such as 'General', click General. If you're not sure which label to apply to the current document or email, use the label tooltips to learn more about each label and when to apply it.
If a label is already applied to the document and you want to change it, you can select a different label. If the labels are not displayed on the bar, first click the Edit Label icon, next to the current label value.
In addition to manually selecting labels, labels can also be applied in the following ways:
Your administrator configured a default label, which you can keep or change.
Your administrator configured recommended prompts to select a specific label when sensitive data is detected. You can accept the recommendation (and the label is applied), or reject it (the recommended label is not applied).
Exceptions for the Azure Information Protection bar
Don't see this Information Protection bar in your Office apps?
Possible reasons:
You don't have the Azure Information Protection client installed.
You have the client installed, but your administrator has configured a setting that doesn't display the bar. Instead, select labels from the Protect button, on the File tab from the Office ribbon.
Your client is running in protection-only mode.
Is the label that you expect to see not displayed?
Possible reasons:
If your administrator has recently configured a new label for you, try closing all instances of your Office app and reopening it. This action checks for changes to your labels.
If the missing label applies protection, you might have an edition of Office that does not support applying Rights Management protection. To verify, click Protect > Help and Feedback. In the dialog box, check if you have a message in the Client status section that says This client is not licensed for Office Professional Plus.
You do not need Office Professional Plus if you have Office apps from Office 365 Business or Microsoft 365 Business when the user is assigned a license for Azure Rights Management (also known as Azure Information Protection for Office 365).
The label might be in a scoped policy that doesn't include your account. Check with your help desk or administrator.
Set custom permissions for a document
If allowed by your administrator, you can specify your own protection settings for documents rather than use the protection settings that your administrator might have included with your selected label. This option is specific to documents and is not available with Outlook.
On the Home tab, in the Protection group, click Protect > Custom Permissions:
If you do not see Custom Permissions, your administrator does not allow you to use this option.
Note that any custom permissions that you specify replace rather than supplement protection settings that your administrator might have defined for your chosen label.
In the Microsoft Azure Information Protection dialog box, specify the following:
Protect with custom permissions: Make sure that this is selected so that you can specify and apply your custom permissions. Clear this option to remove any custom permissions.
Select permissions: If you want to protect the file so that only you can access it, select Only for me. Otherwise, select the level of access that you want people to have.
Select users, groups, or organizations: Specify the people who should have the permissions you selected for your file or files. Type their full email address, a group email address, or a domain name from the organization for all users in that organization.
You can also use the address book icon to select users or groups from the Outlook address book.
Expire access: Select this option only for time-sensitive files so that the people you specified can't open your selected file or files after a date that you set. You will still be able to open the original file but after midnight (your current time zone), on the day that you set, the people that you specified will not be able to open the file.
Click Apply and wait for the Custom permissions applied message. Then click Close.
Safely sharing by email
When you share Office documents by email, you can attach the document to an email that you protect, and the document is automatically protected with the same restrictions that apply to the email.
However, we recommend that you protect the document first, and then attach it to the email. Protect the email as well if the email message contains sensitive information. Two benefits of protecting the document before you attach it to an email:
You can track and if necessary, revoke the document after you have emailed it.
You can apply different permissions to the document than to the email message.
Using File Explorer to classify and protect files
When you use File Explorer, you can quickly classify and protect a single file, multiple files, or a folder.
When you select a folder, all the files in that folder and any subfolders it has are automatically selected for the classification and protection options that you set. However, new files that you create in that folder or subfolders are not automatically configured with those options.
When you use File Explorer to classify and protect your files, if one or more of the labels appear dimmed, the files that you selected do not support classification. For these files, you can select a label only if your administrator has configured the label to apply protection. Or, you can specify your own protection settings.
Some files are automatically excluded from classification and protection, because changing them might stop your PC from running. Although you can select these files, they are skipped as an excluded folder or file. Examples include executable files and your Windows folder.
The admin guide contains a full list of the file types supported and the files and folders that are automatically excluded: File types supported by the Azure Information Protection client.
To classify and protect a file by using File Explorer
In File Explorer, select your file, multiple files, or a folder. Right-click, and select Classify and protect. For example:
In the Classify and protect - Azure Information Protection dialog box, use the labels as you would do in an Office application, which sets the classification and protection as defined by your administrator.
If none of the labels can be selected (they appear dimmed): The selected file does not support classification but you can protect it with custom permissions (step 3). For example:
If you do not see labels but an option for Company pre-defined protection in this dialog box: The client is running in protection-only mode. Either select a template to apply protection that your administrator has configured for you, or, select Custom permissions to specify your own protection settings and go to step 4.
If allowed by your administrator, you can specify your own protection settings rather than use the protection settings that your administrator might have included with your selected label. To do this, select Protect with custom permissions.
If you do not see Protect with custom permissions, your administrator does not allow you to use this option.
Any custom permissions that you specify replace rather than supplement protection settings that your administrator might have defined for your chosen label.
If you selected the custom permissions option, now specify the following:
Select permissions: Select the level of access that you want people to have when you protect the selected file or files.
Select users, groups, or organizations: Specify the people who should have the permissions you selected for your file or files. Type their full email address, a group email address, or a domain name from the organization for all users in that organization.
Alternatively, you can use the address book icon to select users or groups from the Outlook address book.
Expire access: Select this option only for time-sensitive files so that the people you specified will not be able to open your selected file or files after a date that you set You will still be able to open the original file but after midnight (your current time zone), on the day that you set, the people that you specified will not be able to open the file.
Note that if this setting was previously configured by using custom permissions from an Office 2010 app, the specified expiry date does not display in this dialog box but the expiry date is still set. This is a display issue only for when the expiry date was configured in Office 2010.
Click Apply and wait for the Work finished message to see the results. Then click Close.
The selected file or files are now classified and protected, according to your selections. In some cases (when adding protection changes the file name extension), the original file in File Explorer is replaced with a new file that has the Azure Information Protection lock icon. For example:
If you change your mind about the classification and protection, or later need to modify your settings, simply repeat this process with your new settings.
The classification and protection that you specified stays with the file, even if you email the file or save it to another location. If you protected the file, you can track how people are using it and if necessary, revoke access to it. For more information, see Track and revoke your protected documents when you use Azure Information Protection.

This article contains information about how to modify the registry. Make sure to back up the registry before you modify it. Make sure that you know how to restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up, restore, and modify the registry, see Description of the Microsoft Windows registry.
Summary
This article describes various methods that you can use to reset user options and registry settings in Microsoft Office Word.
There are two basic types of options that you can define in Word. These options are as follows:
- Options that affect the way that the program operates. (The information for this kind of option is generally stored in the Microsoft Windows registry.)
- Options that affect the formatting or the appearance of one or more documents. (The information for this kind of option is stored in templates or documents.)
When you troubleshoot unusual behavior in the program or in a document, first determine whether the problem might be caused by formatting, options, or settings. If the behavior occurs in multiple documents, we recommend that you try to reset Microsoft Word to the program's default settings.

Warning Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require that you reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk.
To manually reset a registry key, you must first delete it. To do this, follow these steps.
Important Always export a registry key before you delete it. This step is important because you may have to restore the functionality that is provided by the key.
Exit all Microsoft Office programs.
Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
Expand the appropriate folders to locate the registry key that you want to delete. (Refer to the 'Main locations of Word settings in the Windows Registry' section.)
Click to select the key that you want to delete.
Use one of the following methods, as appropriate for your operating system:
- In Microsoft Windows 2000, click Export Registry File on the Registry menu, type a file name for the backup copy of the key, and then click Save.
- In Windows XP and later versions or in Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and later versions, click Export on the File menu, type a file name for the backup copy of the key, and then click Save.
Make sure that the key that you just exported is selected, and then click Delete on the Edit menu.
When you are prompted to respond to one of the following messages, click Yes:
- Are you sure you want to delete this key?
- Are you sure you want to delete this key and all of its subkeys?
Exit Registry Editor.
After you delete a registry key, and then you restart the program, Word runs the Setup program to correctly rebuild the registry key. If you want to rebuild the registry key before you run the program, repair your installation by following the steps in the 'Repair Word (Office)' section.

Repair Word (Office)
Word can detect and repair problems associated with Setup. This feature uses the Windows Installer to correct problems with missing files and to repair registry settings.
You can use the following methods to repair or reset Word files and values:
- Method 1: Use the 'Detect and Repair' feature
- Method 2: Repair Word in Maintenance Mode Setup
- Method 3: Reinstall Word (Office)
Method 1: Use the 'Detect and Repair' or 'Microsoft Office Diagnostics' feature
Note
This method is the least aggressive mode of repair. If this method does not resolve the problem, you may still have to use one of the other methods.
To run the Detect and Repair feature in Word 2003 and in earlier versions of Word, click Detect and Repair on the Help menu in Word. The Detect and Repair feature fixes and repairs Word. All files, registry entries, and optional shortcuts for all Office programs are verified and repaired. If you run Detect and Repair from Word, all other Office programs are also checked. This feature performs only a checksum.
The Detect and Repair feature can also restore the Word program shortcuts on the Start menu. To restore the Word program shortcuts, click Help, click Detect and Repair, and then click to select the Restore my shortcuts while repairing check box.
If Detect and Repair does not correct the problem, you may have to reinstall Word. The Reinstall feature in the Maintenance Mode dialog box performs the same action as Detect and Repair, except that Reinstall copies a file when the files are of equal versions. Detect and Repair does not copy over the file when the installation file has the correct version and checksum.
Note
The Detect and Repair feature does not repair damaged documents or damaged data keys in the registry or in the Normal template.
If a file that Word uses at Startup is missing, the Windows Installer automatically installs that file before it starts the program.
In Word 2007, run the Microsoft Office Diagnostics feature. To do this, click the Microsoft Office Button, click Word Options, click Resources, and then click Diagnose.
In Word 2010, repair Word or the installed Office suite in Control Panel.
Method 2: Repair Word in Maintenance Mode setup
Note
This method is a moderate mode of repair. If this method does not resolve the problem, you may still have to reinstall Word.
The Maintenance Mode Setup process is similar to the process found in earlier versions of Word. The Maintenance Mode Setup process allows you to repair, add or remove features, and remove the program. 'Repair' is a feature in Maintenance Mode that finds and then fixes errors in an installation.
To perform a Maintenance Mode repair, follow these steps:
Exit all Office programs.
Use one of the following methods, depending upon your operating system:
- In Windows 7 or Windows Vista, click Start, and then type add remove.
- In Windows XP or Windows Server 2003, click Start, and then click Control Panel.
- In Windows 2000, click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
Open Add or Remove Programs.
Click Change or Remove Programs, click **Microsoft Office **(Microsoft Office Word) or the version of Office or Word that you have in the Currently installed programs list, and then click Change.
Click Repair or Repair Word (Repair Office), and then click Continue or Next.
In Word 2003 and in earlier versions of Word, click Detect and Repair errors in my Word installation or click Detect and Repair errors in my Office installation, click to select the Restore my Start Menu Shortcuts check box, and then click Install.
Method 3: Reinstall Word (Office)
Note
This method is the most aggressive mode of repair. This mode resets Word to its default settings, except for settings that are stored in your global template (Normal.dot or Normal.dotm). To do this in Word 2003 and in earlier versions of Word, follow these steps:
Exit all Office programs.
Use one of the following methods, depending upon your operating system:
- In Windows 7 or Windows Vista, click Start, and then type add remove.
- In Windows XP or Windows Server 2003, click Start, and then click Control Panel.
- In Windows 2000, click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
Open Add or Remove Programs.
Click Change or Remove Programs, click Microsoft Office 2003 (Microsoft Office Word 2003) or the version of Office or Word that you have in the Currently installed programs list, and then click Change.
Click Repair Word (Repair Office), and then click Next.
Click Reinstall Word (Reinstall Office), and then click Install.
For more information about Word 2007 or Word 2010, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
924611 How to install the individual 2007 Office features or to repair the installed 2007 Office programs
Templates and add-ins
Global Template (Normal.dotm or Normal.dot)
To prevent formatting changes, AutoText entries, and macros that are stored in the global template (Normalm.dot or Normal.dot) from affecting the behavior of Word and documents that are opened, rename your global template (Normal.dotm or Normal.dot). Renaming the template lets you quickly determine whether the global template is causing the issue.
When you rename the Normal.dotm template in Word 2007 or later or the Normal.dot template in Word 2003 and in earlier versions of Word, you reset several options to the default settings. These include custom styles, custom toolbars, macros, and AutoText entries. We strongly recommend that you rename the template instead of deleting the Normal.dotm template or the Normal.dot template. If you determine that the template is the issue, you will be able to copy the custom styles, custom toolbars, macros, and AutoText entries from the Normal.dot template that was renamed.
Certain types of configurations may create more than one Normal.dotm template or Normal.dot template. These situations include cases where multiple versions of Word are running on the same computer or cases where several workstation installations exist on the same computer. In these situations, make sure that you rename the correct copy of the template.
To rename the global template file, follow these steps:
- Exit all Office programs.
- Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
- Type the following command, as appropriate for the version of Word that you are running, and then press Enter:
- Word 2002 and Word 2003:ren %userprofile%Application DataMicrosoftTemplatesNormal.dot OldNormal.dot
- Word 2007 and Word 2010:ren %userprofile%Application DataMicrosoftTemplatesNormal.dotm OldNormal.dotm
- Type exit, and then press Enter.
When you restart Word, a new global template (Normal.dot) is created that contains the Word default settings.
Add-ins (WLLs) and templates in the Word and Office Startup folders
When you start Word, the program automatically loads templates and add-ins that are located in the Startup folders. Errors in Word may be the result of conflicts or problems with an add-in.
To determine whether an item in a Startup folder is causing the problem, you can temporarily empty the folder. Word loads items from the Office Startup folder and the Word Startup folder.
Avery Label Wizard Word
To remove items from the Startup folders, follow these steps:
Exit all instances of Word, including Microsoft Outlook if Word is set as your email editor.
Use one of the following methods, as appropriate for the version of Word that you are running:
Word 2002:
Click Start, click Run, type %programfiles%MicrosoftOfficeOffice10Startup, and then click OK.
Word 2003:
Click Start, click Run, type %programfiles%MicrosoftOfficeOffice11Startup, and then click OK.
Word 2007:
Click Start, click Run, type %programfiles%MicrosoftOfficeOffice12Startup, and then click OK.
Word 2010:
Click Start, click Run, type %programfiles%MicrosoftOfficeOffice14Startup, and then click OK.
Word 2013:
Click Start, click Run, type %programfiles%MicrosoftOfficeOffice15Startup, and then click OK.
Right-click one of the files that is contained in the folder, and then click Rename.
After the file name, type .old, and then press Enter.ImportantNote the original name of the file. You may have to rename the file by using its original name.
Start Word.
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 5 for each file in the Startup folder.
If you can still reproduce the problem, click Start, click Run, type %userprofile%Application DataMicrosoftWordStartup, and then click OK.
Repeat steps 3 through 5 for each file in this Startup folder.
COM add-ins
COM add-ins can be installed in any location, and they are installed by programs that interact with Word.
To view the list of COM add-ins in Word 2010, click the Microsoft Office Button, click Options, and then click Add-Ins.
To view the list of COM add-ins in Word 2007, click the Microsoft Office Button, click Word Options, and then click Add-Ins.
To view the list of installed COM add-ins in Word 2003 and in earlier versions of Word, follow these steps:
- On the Tools menu, click Customize.
- Click the Commands tab.
- In the Category list, click Tools.
- Drag the COM Add-Ins command to a toolbar.
- Click Close.
- Click the new COM Add-Ins button to view the COM add-ins that are loaded together with Word.
If add-ins are listed in the COM Add-Ins dialog box, temporarily turn off each add-in. To do this, clear the check box for each listed COM add-in, and then click OK. When you restart Word, Word does not load the COM add-ins.
Use the Registry Options utility
You can use the Registry Options Utility to examine and change Word settings in the Windows registry. The Registry Options Utility is located in the Support.dot template.
Note
The Support.dot template is not included in Word 2007 or later versions.
