unblocking Microsoft Word Starter
« on: September 02, 2017, 01:53:15 AM »
After updating Avast Internet Security today, I forgot that I had a Word Starter doc open.  When my computer would not restart, I tried to save my doc but got a pop up from Avast saying something like "an app is trying to close (or maybe save) a file.  Do you want to allow?"  I accidentally clicked no and it then told me that app was blocked.  App?  I think of apps as being on phones.  This is a laptop.  Now I cannot save anything in Word. I don't know where to go to unblock it.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?  I have read about unblocking websites, but this is not exactly the same. 
Window 7
Microsoft Word Starter
Thanks.

Never mind. Found it.  Sometimes I can't see the forest for the trees.

Hi Carol: Can you please explain how to do it? I have also accidentally blocked a file and I'm not as quick as you in finding the solution. THANKS!
