 - Is it a Virus? Whe I type into a word document and type the word "or" then space the "or" changes to a sentence which I can't remember right now since it took so long to find help. When I type the word "and" it gives me another question. I can not use the words "or" and "and". Is this a virus? This just started happening. I dont know how to tell what version I am running but it is a Windows 98 operating system. Tag: Header/Footer - Autotext Entry Grayed Out Tag: 49544

 - removing highlighting from automatic numbers More than once I've found myself having to remove highlighting that just seemed to appear out of nowhere only on the numbers--not the paragraphs--in a numbered list. When I go to the "format numbering" part of modifying the style, I can see absolutely nothing that would call for the number to be highlighted. I won't bother to tell you the excruciating method I've been applying in order to remove the highlighting! Thanks for helping me with this and all the other problems I've been bombarding you with lately! It was a happy day when I discovered this wonderful newsgroup!

 - Can't delete text I've been experiencing some odd editing behavior in Word XP. If I move the cursor , say, to the end of a sentence and press backspace serveral times, it will delete the period at the end of the sentence but nothing more (the cursor just sits there even though I'm hitting the backspace key). However, this only happens with certain sentences in the document. With others it works as it should -deleting the period and characters as expected. Does anyone have any idea what might be going on with this? Thanks for the help. -Pat Tag: Header/Footer - Autotext Entry Grayed Out Tag: 49490

 - Template Problem with Adobe Acrobat I just installed Adobe Acrobat 6.0 on my system (WinXP Home + Office 2000). Now when I fire up Word or Excel, Adobe adds a toolbar to my normal.dot and book.xlt files. I was able to get permanently rid of it in the excel template. I tried deselecting the toolbar in Word, and saving the resulting template as normal.dot. But like Dracula, the Adobe toolbar keeps coming out of the coffin.

 - Trying to update resum Help pleez! I made a resume a long time ago, so now I want to update it. Of course, there is one more job I have to put on it. I have the headings like Objective, Experience, etc. All I want to do is to put another section in the beginning of the Experience block, but it doesn't want me to do that! For instance, when I try to tab to put in my job title, it sends me to the end of the Experience section. If I use the wizard, it tries to make a whole new resume; and anyway I don't like the styles it has now. TIA for any help! Julie Tag: Header/Footer - Autotext Entry Grayed Out Tag: 49479

 - How can I do it? I am trying to print up a message on Word which is written on five regular sheets printed on both sides. The booklet is printed landscape so it eventually will have 18 to 20 pages. Each full size sheet will actually contain 4 pages, two on the front and two on the back. I did this frequently on Page Maker 5 and printed Odd numbers on the first run and then turned the sheets around and printed even numbers. This was easy to lay out since pagemaker would let me set up entire pages at one time, but I cannot see how to do the same thing on MSWord. Can anyone help me on this, please? None of my grand kids are close enough to help me out. Gramp Jim Tag: Header/Footer - Autotext Entry Grayed Out Tag: 49467

 - odd behavior of first page/odd page/even page footers I noticed something that I don't understand nor do I like the results. I set up my document for odd/even footers and different first page header/footers along with start with odd pages. I've set my margins for 0.9" on the left and 0.5" on the right and 0.5" for the top and bottom with 0.5" for header and footer gap along mirrored margins. When I printed the first 20 pages I noticed that I had a different gap at the bottom of the odd and even pages. The odd pages have about 1.0" of gap while the even pages have a 0.5" gap. This problem doesn't show up with the headers for odd/even pages. Any ideas as how to make them the same? TIA, Ken Erickson Tag: Header/Footer - Autotext Entry Grayed Out Tag: 49450

 - Master Doc Question I'm new to using Master Documents and have a question about numbered lists in subdocuments. I have created a master document that contains 5 subdocuments. The numbering starts at 1 in the first subdocument and continues through 225 in my last subdocument. Obviously, I don't want this so I went into my master doc and did Format - Bullets and Numbering - Restart Numbering. I did it for each paragraph that I wanted to restart at 1. It looked great and I did a save. The problem is that every time I open the master document it reverts back to numbers 1 through 225. Does anyone know how I can change this and force the master document to keep the changes? Thanks, Denise Tag: Header/Footer - Autotext Entry Grayed Out Tag: 49448

 - Copying normal.doc Through these boards I found out how to do a lot of things I needed to do to back up autotext and autocorrect, the last of which was to back up the normal.doc file. This is necessary to put the info on a second computer as well as to maintain backups. Anyway, in helping a friend do this she ran across a problem (described below from her email to me) that I can't help her with. If anybody can, please email me directly so I can get it to her along with a link to this site for her future reference. Much appreciation, as always. The text of her email (using Windows 98 or XP, Word 2000) i transferred the normal.dot file from my computer to my amphion computer and went to save the file last week and it will not save. if i open my normal.dot file, there is nothing in it, yet it shows a file size. if i open the one on my computer, i can open the file and see the whole list. i can't figure this out. do you know if there is a way to find out if the normal.dot file is where my things are being saved. it is saving any changes i make and i copied it just like i was told on the page you sent before. i did the transfer from one computer to another, so if it was saved to the normal.dot file, i can't figure out why it wouldn't be there. i hate to not back it up and risk losing that file too, as i have made so many changes to it already. any ideas?

 - Character styles I have a paragraph style called Standard,SS (on which all my other styles are based). I now realise this style has changed to Standard,SS Char,Standard Char Char. I understand this to be a reference to a character style. When I try to apply it to a para I get "Standard Char Char refers to more than one style". I don't want to delete it because I will have to recreate it and go through all my other styles and base them on the new one. I renamed it back to Standard,SS but when I try to apply it to a paragraph I get a message "SS refers to more than one style". Very informative! This is driving me insane. Please help.

 - Font changes (or not) in copy/paste I have 12 users who are all at different locations and who are all advanced users of Word.

 - How can I show certain text+pictures, but not print them ? Hello all. I have gotten the small task of trying to figure out how I can, as simply as possible (obviously), create a document where certain parts of the document will display, but not print. The request was for the ability to view certain layout features (text+pictures) from within the application, but not print it, since the paper it will eventually be printed on is pre-printed with this information. I've looked at field-codes (hoping there'd be a "don't print the contents of this field" sort of switch), and quite a number of other places, without much luck. Does anyone have an idea, apart from the Format->Background option, as to how I'd go about doing something like that ? Thanks in advance, Peter Chr.

 - Susan now HOW do I remove add-in Susan, thank you for the reasons why the add-in to word should be removed. I never use any of the things it's supposed to be there for, and with all the problems it can and has caused that you listed, I WANT to remove it. I just want to do it safely. I can't be without the computer if something else goes wrong. Can you please tell me how to safely remove the MS add-in for Word? Do I just go to the control panel add remove and press remove? or does MS tell me, like with removing the works suite, that i'm going to need the CD to do it? Have YOU ever removed it? I'm really glad you're out there to help. You've been a great help to me so far. I'll wait till you answer before I do anything...and if there's some MS paper i should read before removing the add in, or any contradictions in how MS says to do it and you say to do it, perhaps you can point me to those instructions. but i prefer you writing and telling me, you seem to know how to say things clearly and simply so that even I can understand them. so very many thanks.

 - short lines in quoted email message text I'm a brand new Word-user, with Word 2000 (Office 2000), Windows 98 SE. First, let me apologize in advance for the length of this; I don't know how to make it any shorter, in order to ask my question(s). I'm trying to set up templates (with some success) to conrol various sorts of formatting. I followed Shauna Kelly's instructions for dealing with customizing Outline Numbering (thanks, Shauna!) and used help from Suzanne Barnhill to learn more about fine-tuning my styles. But I still have tons I need to learn. I have a rule for myself: no direct formatting. I removed the direct-formatting toolbar, so as not to be tempted to mess up my documents. Right now, I'm working wtih email messages, because I'll be simulating them, and/or quoting from some, in my long documents, later. For now, I'm bringing actual email messages (my own, or ones I have permission to reproduce) into Word (2000) as text files, by using Copy and Paste, after selecting New Blank Document, with my email-formatting template. I'm copy/pasting them from my text editor, to get the text into the New Blank Document (using a specific .dot file, but also, copying the format styles into normal.dot, once I'm happy with the formatting). This is specifically about short lines in a quoted signature. I need sometimes to set these up as a single-quoted passage (paragraph format?); sometimes as a double-quoted passage (!), and - I hope not often! - perhaps as a triple-quoted passage. I'll bet there are ways to do this fairly simply, but I'm so new to Word that my mind isn't wrapping around this. For now, to imitate (give the appearance of) single-quoted text, I used a border on the left side that continues through the quoted paragraph. That imitates the excerpt bars popular in Eudora. It might not be the best way to do things; should I use ">" instead? And if I do, how would I set that up in Word? I'd want to insert a ">" at the beginning of each line in the paragraph. For double-quoted paragraphs, I succeeded (it appears) in changing the left-side border to a double line from a single line. Then suddenly, I ran into this problem: Somebody quoted a signature from a previous message. The signature lines are short, not extending to the right margin of the page. Thus (inventing): Carol Whitney Second signature line Third signature line Even though I don't usually Use more than one line as A signature A signature. Now, suppose that's set as a single-quote, which, in the original email message, would look like this: > Carol Whitney > Second signature line > Third signature line > Even though I don't usually > Use more than one line as > a signature Oops - now that looks as though I'm quoting somebody else, but it's me <g>. In the original text in the email I'm formatting, those lines (in the simulated signature) would each end with a paragraph mark - in other words, a Hard Return, or a Line-Feed with Carriage Return, Hex 0D0A, if I remember right, or did I get that backwards? When a signature occurs in the original, I'm simply formatting it with Left-alighned text, hanging indents for each line (and each line of the signature is a separate paragraph). I'm adding space-before the first line of a signature, space-after after the last line of a signature, and no space-before nor space-after for all intervening lines. (Incidentally, I'm using these same formats for message headers, and for any added footer on email messages, which are sometimes added by email lists.) But for Body Text, and its relatives, I'm using Space-After, 6 points. For the simulated short-line quotes, though, I don't want any space-before nor space-after, until the last line of the grouped short-lines. Does anybody have any suggestions about how I could format quoted email text, showing some kind of "quote marks" (for single, double, or even triple-quoted text - I'm definitely not wedded to the left-side border! - don't even really care for it that much), and deal with short lines? Is there such a thing as a "NewLine" (I think that's line-feed only? without the hard Return (carriage return?) Or am I even more confused about that?) In other words, how can I get this effect: Several short lines that follow each other (and should be kept together through the last line), without added space in the style format, with some kind of quote marks - single, double or triple? Sorry I'm really rotten at asking questions, until I already know the answer(s), at which point I'm able to ask the questions <g>.

 - Word asks if I want to save changes when there are none I am using Word 2000. When I open a Word document and do nothing but look at it, and then go to close it, I get a message asking if I want to save changes to the document when I have made none. What is this about? Is there a way to eliminate this? Tag: Header/Footer - Autotext Entry Grayed Out Tag: 49319

 - XP Startup Garbage Removal I have 4 users set up on my XP system. When the system starts up, I go to a login page which shows four icons, one for each user. When I click on my icon, for example, the start up process works fine, it goes to my desktop, etc. however, the process includes the automatic opening of a couple of word pad documents and an AOL instant messenger window, I do not know how they got there and I just have to close them everytime before proceeding with my work. Do you know how I can clean this up and remove those documents and windows from my startup process; (I believe one of them was inadvertantly put there by a Dell Tech support technician)? thanks, FM Tag: Header/Footer - Autotext Entry Grayed Out Tag: 49316

 - No tool bars I currently have no tool bars and no menus (no File, Edit, View). An error happened and it asked to revert to saved copy. so i said yes, and now no matter how many times i reboot or how much i search for it, i do not have any Word functions at all. All I have is a blue bar at the top with the name of the document. How do I fix this? Tag: Header/Footer - Autotext Entry Grayed Out Tag: 49315

 - Sue Barnhill? Re Enable/Disable Macros at launch? Thank you both, Suzanne and Graham. I HAVE found the template PALMAPP.DOT in my C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\Startup folder. But before I delete it, I think I'd like to try making it from a trusted source, if I can. I've also found 3 macros -- PalmAppAddress.MAIN , PalmAppMemo.MAIN , and PalmAppToDo.MAIN -- in my list of Word macros. I've looked at the Word Help under "Modify the list of trusted sources for macros", but don't know where/how to find the Security Warning box it mentions (at item #3), and -- so -- don't know how to select "Always trust macros from this source". [Hey, I admitted I was out of my depth here!] Thanks for your time and trouble on this, guys. Peter >-----Original Message----- >There's a good chance that PALMAPP.DOT is not doing anything for you.

 - Fractions In my Word 97, when I type a fraction (1/10, 1/12, etc), if it is an oft used fraction such as 1/2 or 1/4, it is reduced and all included on a single line as numerator over denominator. So far, all my searching thru menus has not turned up a way to change how fractions appear. Many times I prefer a consistancy in appearance, and occasionally it's no big deal. Any ideas anyone would like to offer about how to select the appearance of fractions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, K. Tag: Header/Footer - Autotext Entry Grayed Out Tag: 49300

 - Susan flawed updates and thanks Susan, yes, there's no reason why the cd should be necessary for the removal of Works, but the ms article said it was. I just don't understand (and I really try) why these contradictory or confusing instructions seem to be the norm and not exception. But I was wondering, what kind of problems are in the add in for Word that made you tell me to remove it? which I certainly will do. But I was wondering, what kind of problems are in the add in for Word that made you tell me to remove it? which I certainly will do. As for your comments in defense of critical updates which cause "inconveniences" because the worms or viruses out there could trash our computers, I just had to respond to that. My feeling is that if Microsoft wasn't so anxious to get new products onto the market as fast as possible before they are thoroughly tested, then the critical updates wouldn't be necessary in the first place. I'm certainly not the first person to say that on these boards. I think MS is testing its products on the backs of the end users.just ordinary people like me,(and wasting our time, energy, not to mention the money we spend trying to get the products to work) that I hardly think inconvenience is the word. I have thought about it, and somehow that doesn't seem right to me...but that's just my feeling about it. I've read so many posts on the numerous newsgroups here, especially the Windows Update newsgroup, from people in a panic, a fury, or simply stumped, and it is so depressing to read these posts, but perhaps the best way to learn... (for instance service pack 4 causing all sorts of problems....no printers, etc.) that I'm always happy to have someone make me laugh about it all, and some newsgroup poster did, when he wrote "Microsoft is aware of the problem in service pack 4 and maybe a fix will be upcoming. Then again, so is Christmas." Having said all that, Susan, I'm so glad there are people like you out there who can help people like me. It doesn't make the frustration go away, but when you write as you do, clearly and straightforwardly, and especially (as was the case for the cut and paste question I asked) when you come up with a solution, it at least takes a little bit of the edge off the frustration. Thank you again for your help. I really appreciate it. Tag: Header/Footer - Autotext Entry Grayed Out Tag: 49299

 - Susan thank you,but questions for Susan Barnhill (and anyone else with some answers) first, Susan, thank you for responding to my post....but i have two questions raised by what you wrote.... you said to unistall the works add-in for Word because it causes problems in word....and you said, if i read your answer to my question correctly, just to click unistall works from the add remove on the control panel and if the unistall requires the cd, then it will prompt me to use it... what i DON'T understand is....why would MS issue a critical download (the add-in) that causes problems and apparently doesn't come up with another fix to fix the problem the solution was supposed to address? and why does the microsoft bulletin on UNISTALLING WORKS tell me something something apparently DIFFERENT from what you've said? I would really like to understand what is going on there at microsoft that it issues such "clear" instructions for removing Works, involving using the cd, yet it might be possible to unistall it if the unistall doesn't prompt me to use the cd? thank you for your answer to my question. it was simple and straight-forward, which i really appreciated. thank you, and hope you have a moment to answer the two questions i asked here....

For some reason, the usual "enter autotext" drop down box on the footer
toolbar is grayed out on one of my files. I must have done something, since
this normally doesn't occur - but what?

Make sure the style named "Footer" is applied to the text in the footer. The
AutoText entries list is style-name dependent.
