Just to put closure on this, my original FACEID file never did work in
Word 2K with new Win2K OS. But I recently recvd gift of Office 2003
and the template works fine in Word 2003 (?!). I've tried it several
times now on different days and reliably all 4 panes of FACEIDs show
up.
So though can't say why I was having the problem before, it seems to
no longer be an issue in this newer office.
Go figure. But it works now so end of worries for now.
Thanks. :oD
