A problem sending the command

I am now getting the message, 'A problem sending this command to the program in Microsoft Word'.
This has only just started.
I'm running Win 8.1 
ASUS X55A-JH91 15.6 Laptop
Can anyone advise me of a solution to this. Many Thanks

For any other issues take a look here: Word recovery 

To work around this problem, you can try this method:  Or follow these steps:

  • First, right-click the Word file that you have problems with, and click "Property".
  • Click "Unblock", when done, click"OK". (Note: a properly-working Word file does not have an "Unblock" button displayed).
  • Next, you should be able to open this file without further problems. If you encountered this problem in many of your files, you may try the following steps: first, move these files into the same folder, open Word 2010, and then click "File", and click "Options". (For Word 2007, please click "Office" button, and then click "Word options").
  • Click "Trust Center", and then click "Trust Center Settings".
  • Next, click "Trusted Locations", and click "Add new location". 
  • Select the folder where you have just moved your files to; when done, click "OK" and then click "OK" again.

Not sure if applicable, but, i found this resource on Microsoft's knowledge base:

On my system, not sure if installed properly, but, seems that Word 2007 can be quirky... it's just easier for me to utilize Word 2016.
