Written by The New Paperclip on September 26, 2006 – 9:00 pm
Does the Word 2007 Splash Screen distract you too much when you are waiting for Word to load? There is a solution.
- Create a shortcut on your desktop (right click on the desktop, go to new, and select shortcut).
- Type the full path of Word 2007 on your computer (the default is probably “c:\program files\microsoft office\office 12\winword.exe”
- After the full path, add a space, and then /q (so it looks like “c:\program files\microsoft office\office 12\winword.exe /q”
- Click finish.
Now, double click on the shortcut to load Word 2007, minus the splash screen
’till next time
