    - 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.

    - 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.

    - 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?

    - 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...

    - 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, L.

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.

    - 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: Word 2003, always goes to top of page Tag: 84593

    - 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.

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.

I don't see this behavior. When restoring a minimized window, I get the very
same view as when I minimized it, and the cursor is in the same place.

I don't see this, either (but I don't minimize very often). However, I have
noticed odd behavior with scrolling and the focus in Word 2003 and have
attributed it to the "Smart cursoring" setting in Tools/OPtions/Edit:

Use smart cursoring Specifies that the insertion point moves as you
scroll up or down. When you press the LEFT ARROW, RIGHT ARROW, UP ARROW, or
DOWN ARROW keys, the insertion point responds at the page currently in
view, not at its position prior to scrolling.

You might try disabling this and see if it makes a difference.
