    - Word 2000 Document Map formatting problem According to the Word 2000 Help file, the procedure for formatting the Document Map is as follows: *********************************************************************** Format text in the Document Map You must have headings that display in the Document Map (for example, text formatted in one of the built-in heading styles) before you can format text in the Document Map. How to apply text styles. If the Document Map isn't already displayed, click Document Map . On the Format menu, click Style. In the Styles box, click Document Map, and then click Modify. Click Format. Do one of the following: To set the font and font size, click Font, and then make your changes in the Font and Size boxes. To set the highlight color, click Border, click the Shading tab, and then select the Fill color you want ************************************************************************ However, when I try and format the Document Map I end up formatting both the text in the Document Map *and* the actual headers in the document.

    - Flickering Footer Hi, I have created a document which is in portriat orientation, but inlcudes several pages in the middle which are in landscape. I have separated the landscape section by using 'Next Page' section break. I have also stopped the header and footer in the landscape section from linking to the previous section in portrait. The problem I now encounter which I have experienced before in Word is that when I try to autofit the footer to the width of the section in landscape it develops a flicker. The footer flickers from being portrait width to landscape width and I have been unable to stop by fixing the width of the footer as well. Any suggestions on how I can overcome this glitch (am I inserting the landscape section in the wrong way?) would be most welcome and appreciated.

    - WordML Revision Save ID From an ASP page I am inserting editing comments in a MS Word Table using WordML. I am able to successfully insert the comments. However, when I attempt to open the output Word XML file in Word I receive an "unspecified error" and the line number where the error occured. The line is the beginning of comment that was inserted. The XML tag <w:r rsidR=""> is the error the line number points to. I believe this is caused by the fact I don't have a rsid value in the rsidR Property. Can anyone point me at the documentation that explains how to generate proper rsid's. Also, does there need to be a reference to the rsid somewhere else in the WordML to make this work? -- Thanks, Rich Tag: 2 docs open on startup Tag: 110375

    - Word 2003 keeps saying it crashed last time it was opened Hi! I'm using Office 2003 SP2 on a Windows 2003 R2 terminal server. Every second time a user opens Word he/she is prompted that "Word failed to start correctly last time". "Do you want to start Word in safe mode?" To my knowledge Word hasn't crashed or shown any signs of problems so I'm a bit puzzled. I've tried to rename "normal.dot" to something else to generate a new template. I've also tried reinstallating and repairing the installation with a subsequent reboot but it doesn't resolve the problem. Opening Word with the "/a" switch makes no difference either. Any suggestions how I could track the cause of this problem is much appreciated! Thanks in advance Morten Tag: 2 docs open on startup Tag: 110348

Are you sure you're not clicking the icon an extra time? And sure that
you're PC is not set to single clicks? If it is set to single clicks
and you double click the icon, you'll get two copies.

Right off I can't think of any other way that you could get two copies
to open automatically???
