How to disable and prevent add-ins and global templates from loading when you launch Microsoft Word.
Launching Word with the switch of /a will disable all add-ins and global templates. This switch comes in handy if Word is crashing when you try to launch it or behaving abnormally because of an add-in or template. You can launch Word in this fashion in a couple of ways.
