    - Header/Footer Area Not Seen Foolish question, but I can't seem to sort it and it's annoyning. My normal viw is page layout. Normally, the header and footer areas of pages always appeared when I opened a doc. Recently, I've just seen the text area -- no header/footer. When I go to View>header/footer I see the header and footer areas and can edit them. Close header/footer, and they remain in view, grayed out as normal. Save doc. Reopen doc. No header footer.

    - Word 2003 - Markup I have a document that every time I open it up, it opens in MARKUP view. It is easy to turn off the markup view and continue to work and then to save the document. The issue is that the next time I go to the document to open it, it opens up again in MARKUP view. This is not a terrible issue for me, but if I send the document to someone and they open it up, they get the MARKUP view too!!! Is there a way I can stop the document oopening up in MARKUP view? All help gratefully received. Cheers Tag: how come when I save it goes to a desktop icon? Tag: 80680

    - Header in Template doesn't show I installed Office 2003 in my desktop and set up a template for a letterhead in a header. I just installed 2003 on my laptop and put the letterhead.dot file from the desktop in the appropriate folder on the laptop. On the desktop, when I File/New and choose the letterhead template, it shows the header. It does not do that on the laptop. To see the header I have to View/Header and Footer to have it appear on the screen. It is the same template on both machines so there must be a setting in Word somewhere that will automatically display the header without having to use View. Will someone please tell me how to go about getting the header to display automatically? I've Googled the problem and consulted Word Help but can't find the answer. Thank you very much.

    - ADJUST VERTICAL RULER Some how I have adjusted the vertical ruler, so that all text starts from the very top of the page and ends at the very bottom. Not sure how I have done this? I have been to file > page set up > margins and they show that I have 2.54cm of margin top & bottom. Yet the ruler still hasnt changed and the text keeps running top to bottom literally.

    - how to let everyone access a custom label??? Hi. I've got a Document A on the server. I print lables from it from Person A account. I've produced a custom lable with the Person A account to print out lables. When Person B signs on to the computer and opens up Document A on the server, Person B cannot use the custom lablel that Person A has made. Question: How can I have users share a custom made label template so they all can see it? For example I go to tools-letters and mailings-envelopes and lables- , click on the Lables tab and adjust the margins on theAvery 5160 address label and save it with a custom name. I can see it of course, but how can I have that show up as custom in everyone's account without logging onto everyone's account individually to set that up? Hopefully I was clear. Thanks. Bryce.

    - Formatting of text problem - Help needed with Style Sheets & Search and Replace Hiya I'm just totally stumped at this one. I have a text document from an online form (see below), and I'm trying to format each section individually to a seperate style using the search and replace command. The text will be exactly like this. FORM START Name : Blah Area : Blah 2 Region : Blah 3 PDS1: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ajjjj jkfgj kdfjgkd fjkjfgkd fjgkdf jgkjkfdj kjfd dsf dsgfsdgdg dsg sdg sdgs sdg sdgs sdg ds sdg sdfg sdgsgsg gsgdsggs sdgsdgs sdgsdgsg sdgsg sdgsd sdgsdgs sd sdg sdgsdgsg sdgsdg sdgsdgsdg -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contact name & tel: Blah4 PCE : 82834 STRP : NEW CODE : 54321 FORM END The data will change every time but the fieldnames (Name, Area, Region etc) will stay the same. So one form might be Name : Blah and the next time Name : Halb and so on. I want to be able to change each line to a seperate Style using the search and replace command. I'm trying to do a search saying : Replace "Name : " with "Name : " with a new style sheet selected. Obviously doing a search and replace for "Name : Blah" would be pointless as it's going to change every new form. Now every time I do this the entire document changes to the new style, which is not what I'm looking for. I'm looking that every *section* of the data above has a different style sheet, so "Name : Blah" would be Style 1. "Area : Blah2" would be Style 2, "Region : Blah3" would be Style 3 and so on. Is there *anyway* of doing this. I would be pulling my hair out if I had any left, so can anyone please help. Thanks for listening JD Tag: how come when I save it goes to a desktop icon? Tag: 80624

It is only this one document where this seems to be happening, and it's damned annoying, because I need to edit it.

    - SaveAs - Curious Behavior This probably goes beyond Word, but... Today, there's a peculiar new behavior which I first noticed on MS Word 2003 (WinXP Home). It seems to be replicated on other MS Office programs: Excel and OneNote, but not others such as OE6, IE6 or Adobe Acrobat 6: When I click on File | Save As, the normal dialog box opens, with the default folder as MyDocs. If I click it to save in a different folder, there's now a delay of five or more seconds before the SaveIn dropdown box opens. Once that happens, I can make other selections with no delay.
