    - Showing Document Name within the Document Is there a way to automatically display the file name of a Word document within the document itself? For example, a Word document might be named "Report 3". After making changes, the document might be saved as "Report 4" and then printed. For future identification, it would be desirable to automatically show "Report 4" within the printed document. Tag: How do I assign keys for symbols? Tag: 77781

In word 2003, I am unable to work out how to turn off Track Changes permanently as I have a user that instead of opening each of their documents manually having to turn off the track changes. Is there a way either within Word 2003 or via the registry (regedit) that can be set to disable track changes and only activate them if need be?

    - A 'field' question Hi, I hope you can help. I've created a document (basically like a school report) with check boxes and fields. The problem I have is that when I want to type into the field, it's fine until the text goes onto a different line, then it starts to move the text of the unfielded bits down the page. I've saved it as a template, tried it protected and unprotected but can't seem to get my head around it. I hope someone out there understands what I mean and can give some advice to a Word novicette.

    - How do I stop style changing Although I'm not a new user to word, there is something basic that is happening that I just don't understand. I have some text in the cell of a table that is essentially clear formatting but with typeface blue. There are several lines of it. If I delete one of the middle lines the line below changes - in this particular case to Heading 3. (This is just one example - deleting a CR would also have the same effect.)

In my header, I have Page 8 of 16. The number "8" is correct, because I instructed Word to start over at the new section. But the 16 is 2 too high. It is including the Title and Table of Contents.

    - How do I get rid of ads for "marketplace" merchandise in help When I click on help I just want help. I'm not interested in being bombarded with ads and 'featured links.' Aside from being annoying, these strike me as a major security risk. How can I restrict help to looking for help and not the rest of this extraneous content? If the convenience of the user is what's at stake here, this 'feature' should be disabled by default. At the very least instructions on how to disable it should be prominent and visible. If on the other hand the idea is to steer users into yet another online shopping site... More generally, Microsoft has a tendency to come up with all kinds of new features that may be exactly what somebody is looking for but are an annoyance to at least as many other users, and then make it all but impossible for the user to figure out how to get rid of the feature he never asked for and doesn't particularly want. I really wish they'd knock it off. Tag: How do I assign keys for symbols? Tag: 77701

    - Text editing problem.. Guys - I have got myself a list of files from a folder on xp opened in word (it's a list of all files within my music singles folder so I can print them off and put them with my mp3 player). However this list contains the date, time and file size etc. (standard file view in xp) and I'm trying to delete it to just leave track name part of the line. Is there an easy way I can just delete the first 60 or so characters on each line of text without having to do line by line - obviously if I try to delete a block by moving the mouse downwards, it grabs everything right to the end of the line and highlights that for deletion to. In other words I highlight the bits i don't want, move the mouse downwards to the next line and the rest of the line I wanted to keep is highlighted........a very complicated explanation of a very simple thing methinks!!

    - AutoText Certainly not a new user but don't know where to post this one (Please tell me where may be better). Some time ago we prepared a Word 2000 template using a table and Autotext. Sentences (from a different document) were added to autotext (some were 700+ characters) and each given a code. Typing the code successfully inserted the text into the table (of the template and 'new' documents). This template still works OK on Word 97, 2000, XP. We are now trying to set up new templates on the same basis. However, we cannot enter more than 255 characters (on any version) into autotext. What has gone wrong/are we doing differently. Please help before I lose all my hair!!! If the original was a 'quirk', any other ideas for automatically entering text using a code? Many thanks Terry Tag: How do I assign keys for symbols?

    - .pdf file too large We have a new scanner in our office. For some reason, it seems that it produces .pdf files with a much, much larger number of bytes. Now, many of our files can't be sent to certain recipients because of their size. Do you have an opinion as to why this is? Could it be because the scanner is not as high-end pricewise as the previous one? Is there some kind of magic I can perform to get the files smaller in size? Thanks for all you do!!!

    - Problem saving files Ok, this is very weird, and my previous mail is probably slightly related to this problem too. I will detail what I do and what goes wrong. I have a master document (and 10 subdocuments) with which I work fine. I always work in my master document. When I save my master document (and therefore all subdocuments), I always make two copies. The one that I am working on currently which I leave in my working directory, and a copy (of the masterfile, all subdocuments and everything else that is called up in the master document) and put that (always) in a new directory (which I usually name after the time/day it was saved. Each consecutive master file is named also with a time/day in it. If for one reason or another something goes wrong with my masterfile, I just copy the old masterfile (and all the subdocuments that I had saved at that same time, etc) I had saved before back into my working directory and I continue from there. This always works. And now something weird happened. Many times while I was working in my latest masterfile, a previous version of my masterfile was opened up. This happened often when inserting footnotes or other text. I always closed the older version and went back to the version I was working on but somehow I was suddently on quite a different page and I had to scroll back (or forward) to get back to my cursor (where I was). often my whole master file goes into a "flickering" mode and many pages suddenly scroll in front of me and then too I have to go back (or forward) several pages to where I was. When I saved my masterfile (and therefore all the other subdocuments, as usual), I saved it, as usual, under the new name, including the time/date in it. I noticed however that this latest version of the masterfile is much smaller than the previous saved version 20kb vs 180kb). That was weird. All other previous saved versions were 150kb, 160kb, 170kb, 180kb (they became sligthly bigger as I added things to it). It seems that when I open up my latest version, it needs to "open" up the previous (old) version as well. Somehow my latest saved version doesn't seem to be a saved file, but a saved link (although this is not stated anywhere!). When I remove the old version of the masterfile (but all subdocuments etc stay) from my working directory, WORD can not open my new masterfile anymore and gives me the following message: Word experienced an error trying to open the file. Try these suggestions: Check the file permissions for the document or drive Make sure there is sufficient free memory Open the file with the text recovry converter Digging deeper, it says: The file you tried to open was not found. It may be missing, in a different location, locked by another application, or unavailable due to file permissions. If you are sure the file exists but you cannot locate it using the Word File Open dialog, start Microsoft Windows Explorer and perform a search. If the search dialog returns a listing of your file, double-click on it to open it. If the file does not open, it is either corrupt, locked by another application, or is protected by file permissions. What I want of course is that Word saves my file as it always did and not save it as a kind of link or so. Does anyone have a clue? ta Tag: How do I assign keys for symbols? Tag: 77593

    - footnote problem Hello all, I am working on an old document of mine. It was created in W0rd 2000, but I am using now Word 2003. One footnote is set at page 100, but is now printed at the bottom of page 94. No matter what I do, I can't get the footnote at the bottom of page 100. Also, it's nr is 3, although there are no other footnotes on that page and should say 1 (and only 1 footnote on page 94 but even than it should say nr 2 and not 3). What worries me most is that even when I delete the footnote completely and recreate it at the right place on page 100, it automatically puts it on page 94 again. And not only that, Word opens up an older version of my file too, and starts working on that one. All other footnotes work ok, this is the only one that is weird. Anyone any suggestions? Thanks.

As JoAnn has hinted you have a UK pattern keyboard, but Windows has been
configured to use an US keyboard (or vice versa). Check Windows regional
settings and make them both speak the same language.
