Word 2003 is Word 11. Word 12 is presumably the trial version of Office
2007
that you have installed and removed at some time.
Word 8 is Word 97, Word 10 is Word XP/2002. I am surprised that these keys
still have content.
When you delete the settings Subkey Word will rebuild a new default one.
If
unsure, rename it to Oldsettings with Word closed.
The macro approach is simpler and more reliable.
Surprising the things that irritate users. I had never even concerned
myself
about the 'wings' until you mentioned it - and you appear to know what
they
indicate.

Re Stefan's registry adjustment, I find in Regedit (I run Word 2003
as part of Office 2003), I have variously Word 8, 10, 11 and 12. All
except 12 have 'Word/Data' as an entry, as described in Stefan's
article. So which one or ones do I delete?

Why should this resolve my 'wings' problem - because this is a
problem in my 'Word/Data/Settings?

If I delete that entry, I assume I will have to reset Word from
afresh to my preferred settings. Is that correct?

Are there any dangers in deleting the registry entry?

Thanks

You could try deleting the Data key in the registry. See

I use Word 2003 on a XP machine. Every time I open a new Word doc,
I get 'wings' attached to the cursor which drives me mad. I can
get rid of them by going into Options/Edit and unclicking Click and
Type. But they come back when I open the next new doc, when Click
and Type is ticked again. How can I get unclicking Click and Type
to stick, so that this problem is solved permanently? I imagine a
registry adjustment would do the trick. Thanks.
