So things are OK for now? Do post back if the problem comes back. Actually,
you may want to post to an entirely new thread, if necessary, to get more
attention.

Good luck!

of
context
(because I'm using an NNTP newsreader where older messages get deleted
regularly).

In what way do you want to change the footnotes in Word? Which version
of
Word are you using?

Hello Stefan
I am using this post because I wanted to get back to you to say that
the
problem I last wrote about is clear now. Don't worry about macros or
anything else. It is a simple normal.docm problem.

I now have a supposedly blank document with writing on - "the quick
brown fox" hereafter known as "the fox" for identification purposes.
(before I just got an open window with no doc so now I can actually see
what is happening) . It is now opening as a blank document and I cannot
rename it because I get the message it is open even though I have
closed
all documents. So basically this is what was happening when I was
opening and closing documents and getting messages and then not being
able to change anything because a doc was open.

I cleared out all my macros that had been in global template and redid
my macro and it is the only one in there.

So when I try and get a new document it comes up. My normal.docm are
now
found in "new from existing templates". If I try and do a search from
start I go straight to the fox doc. It doesn't do a search.
I try and make a new one by going to file and open but it still brings
up the fox doc.
So I need to rename it but just cant seem to be able to . Oh and I have
ticked hidden files so I can see everything. Could it be a hidden file?


I hope this makes everything clearer. I am looking at a document on how
to fix it but lots of different versions in the one article. The
article
warns about
making a new normal doc for existing files.

My macro was for all files because I don't do any other work with
footnotes.
Thank you in advance for helping with this document.

As for one of the other questions re italics.
I still cannot understand why italics changed. What question should I
ask to see if I can get an article or an explanation and fix please?

regards
Hello Stephan

Want to make sure you get my reply so posted to a couple of yor
posts.
Hello Stephan
Re normal docm problem. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I
have been unwell. I have resolved my normal.docm problem that has
arisen in this thread. I am still unsure as to why I am loosing my
italics but will keep an eye on it and if it happens again I can
provide more information.
Thank you for your assistance
Kaye
