I am running SharePoint 2013. My Laptop is running Windows 7 with Office 2013 and IE10 installed. Until a few days ago I could happily click on "New Document" in a SharePoint Library and Word would start and let me create a new document using either the standard template or one of a couple I have created. I could also upload a document to the library. I can still upload documents and can edit existing ones but the "New Document" option no longer works with either my templates or the standard one. Now when I try I get a little dialog box which says:
'New Document' requires a Microsoft SharePoint Foundation-compatible application and web browser. To add a document to this library, click the 'Upload Document' button.
It was working until a few days ago otherwise I would suspect that it wasn't compatible with the 2013 version of Office but that can't be the case. To the best of my knowledge I haven't made any changes other than updates to the server and my laptop. It makes no difference whether I try it with a library that worked before or a new one it just doesn't work at all now.
Can anyone offer a solution to this?
Best wishes....
