    I have an Add-In that somehow got disabled, because I did not respond to it during install and then the winword.exe process closed because I rebooted the computer.
    Now I am unable to restart this Add-in.

    When I have this problem in Outlook, I am able to go to Help > Disabled Items... and then just start the Add-in from there.

    However, in Word and Excel, this menu is missing (Help menu is removed?).  I am not able to start the Add-in from Word Options > Add-Ins ... It is listed as Disabled but no matter what I do I am unable to get it going again!

    I have also experienced this issue earlier with our Outlook Add-ins in Outlook, and no matter what I tried, I was unable to start the add-ins from the Trust Center > Add-Ins menues. The only thing that made Add-ins re-start after disabling was by using Help > Disabled Items... menu ..

    In Office 2007 you have to click the Office button in the upper left hand corner and then click the product Options button.  You will see Add-Ins listed there, use the drop down box to select "Disabled Items" and you can enable them again from there.

    Hope this helps!

    Thanks RgrJim. However this is not the same. I hope this gets better in Office 2010.
