Word 2003, always goes to top of page
When I minimize Word 2003 and then bring it back, the page view always
goes to the top of the page on which I was working, not the point in the
page where I was working.
Is there a place in one of the 101,378 options settings where I can
change this?
Thanks.

It may keep your message from being screened or bounced.
A few basics, in case you decide you can skip that article:
(1) Be nice; everyone answering questions here is a volunteer.

_have to_ post in more than one, post a _single_ message and
put both newsgroups in the header for that _single_ message.
(3) Do not attach anything to a message.
(4) The only really stupid question is the one you don't ask.

Multiple inappropriate spacing
Word 2002, SP-3
A user often hits the spacebar multiple times between words, 3-4 times
sometimes. The spell checker does not catch those spaces as being
incorrect. What is a good way to have Word remove these inappropriate
spaces automatically? The user does not want to have to do a Find/Replace
on every document as well as running the speller. Tia! Tag: Tear Off Phone numbers? Tag: 84680
word makes crazy page breakes
in a large document, I experience that word 2003 automaticly makes a page
break right before a new paragraph - when I don't want it to!! sometimes I
can succed in getting the text back on the right page, but offen it is only
possible, if I make like 5-10 blank lines (by pressing return) It can be,
that it makes a pagebreak after only 4 lines of text.
Pleace help- it is a important report that has to look it's best!

INFORMATION ABOUT FONTS - ADDITIONAL
Just to be clear - when I right click a word I still get a menu that allows
me to select FONT and this has a 3 tabbed dialog box showing FONT,
Character Spacing and Animation. The feature I am talking about gave lots
of additional stuff about the font, who designed it, whether it may be
embedded in documents etc.
Sorry about the confusion - that's part of my charm :0))

INFORMATION ABOUT FONTS
I use Word 97 and use to have a feature that gave (on right clicking a word)
lots of information about the font types. This feature appears to have
vanished into the aether. As far as I recall it was a Microsoft thingy.
Anyone know what I am talking about and if so where I can obtain it again?
Thanks.

view format & track changes- use default setting instead of how document was saved? (W2003)
I sometimes get documents from co-workers where (when I open them) the view
is something different that what I normally use (normal vs print layout),
and sometimes the track changes bar comes up when a document is opened too.
I'd like for every document I open to open in print layout view (regardless
of how the previous person saved it) and always come up without the track
changes bar (we tend to use other methods of version control).
Is there a way for me to set up my Word2003 installation to "override" any
settings saved in the document?
Thanks,
Keith

headers
I'm trying to setup a template in WORD. I want a header on the first page
and a footer on all pages. How do I do this?
I setup the first page header, but where and how do I find the subsequent
page headers? The template has only one page. I don't see where I can add or
insert pages.
Lastly, if I create a document(s) from one template, then later edit that
template, will the changes propogate through all docs or do I need to update
in some way?

Way back machine
Hello group,
I would like to take you all on a journey back to the year 1995 and talk
about the product that is known as Word 95 or some also called it Word 7.0
. I still use it, that's right, on my home computer because it is small,
fast, uncluttered, no cartoon people or objects popping up at you, and
reliable. I don't share Word documents with anyone, I just use it to
store documents that mean something to me and are only for my use, so I
don't really need to upgrade.
My question is this, using XP Home running Word 95, is their any type of
anything that I can use, or install, or copy, or paste, or change, or add
to make the auto scroll wheel on a mouse work with Word 95. I am quickly
getting tired of having to use the up/down scroll buttons to navigate
through a document and would like to be able to use the scroll wheel like
you can with Word 97, etc...
Thanks,
Alt.

Word document protection

I would like to protect a Word document so that it is not possible for a

the recipient to file>save as.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Problem with OpenFile dialogue box.
I have Word2003.
On pressing the "Open" button on the menu bar a dialogue box appears.
In the "File Name" drop-down box, what is the proper way to use this because
when I add the path to a file all I get is an error message saying "The file
name or format is not valid!"?
Is there some new procedure required for Word2003, because it worked fine

labels???
Office(word) 2k.
Have 7 pages of entries for printing labels 3x columns by 10x rows.
.
Two problems/situations.
1. Before I added 4 new entries, I clicked Tools, Options, All(formatting
marks) so I can see formatting.
Before saving updated doc, I unclick ALL but the new entries disappear.
IOW- if I unclick ALL, I can't see or print the entries, just spaces.
2. I've added several new folks to my label doc but have run out of space at
end.
How do I add rows/pages below what I already have so I can continue?
The last page only has 7 rows where the first 6 pages have 10 rows.
Thanks,

Character limit
Hello Everyone,
Using word 2000. I am working on a project and each line can't have more
than 60 characters including spaces (a space is = to a character). I can
see the number of characters in my status bar because I am using a table and
it appears that the Col number is equal to characters. I have added a column
at the end of my table and am manually entering the number of characters.
Is there a way to insert a function/formula into this last column to auto
insert the final character count?
Thanks,

Scrolling issue in long document
I have a long document (about 250 pages), and most of it has no
problems. However, there is a section near the beginning that drives me
crazy. Whenever I try to scroll through it, either using arrow keys,
page up / down, or the mouse wheel, the scrolling action works
differently. Instead of quickly scrolling entire lines, individual
words seem to get moved, so I'm "stuck" in this section for a looong
time as I scroll-wheel or arrow-key through it. I assume that I must
have accidentally applied some strange formatting to it. Can anyone
guess what happened here, and how to correct it?
Thanks! Tag: Tear Off Phone numbers? Tag: 84593

Write hide gridline instructions assuming borders must be removed
Hide gridline instructions for tables is confusing. If written from a
different perspective, I believe they would be easier to follow. My
suggestion is that it be assumed that since the title is Hide Gridlines, that
is exactly what the user wants to do. Skip the long explanation and explain
how to remove borders; in fact, go into more detail about borders, or provide
a reference to the format section, or wherever this information resides.

Keeping hyperlinked text bold when pasting into e-mail
I have hyperlinked text in Word. It's bold. I copy it into an Outlook
Express e-mail, and it turns into regular (non-bold). This appears to
be a built in feature of OE, that it treats bold hyperlinked text as
non-bold. This makes sense for most purposes.
But if I want some particular hyperlinked text to remain bold when
pasted into an e-mail, there any formatting I can add to the hyperlinked
text to make this happen?
