Default allow a4/letter resizing

Hi Graham,

Thanks for the fix. Wow!!

I went to the idiots' guide and I feel like an idiot! I have never done
anything with macros and I don't really understand what a macro is but I get
the idea. I will attempt the guide and see how I go. I take it the code for
the macro is Options.MapPaperSize = False
Do I need to do the macro in modules if I am setting it up as autonew and
autopen? Where will I get instructions for this?
As you can see I am a bit lost when it comes to macros. Sorry

Regards,

Greg

If you are now using Word 2003, note that it has an unfortunate habit of
randomly losing some settings in tools options. The only satisfactory cure
is to set those errant settings using autonew and autoopen macros in
normal.dot the following line in each of those macros will sort this
particular issue.

Options.MapPaperSize = False

Hello. I have found this forum very helpful. Thank you very much. I
could not get a number of my Word6 docs to print when changing top
and bottom margins until unchecking allow a4/ letter resizing under
tools after seeing this in the forum. I have found that this option
reverts back to the original setting, but I don't know why. It may
only be when updates come thru becuase I can uncheck the box, restart
my computer and find the setting unchecked on all docs as I want it
to be. How can I keep this resize box unchecked permanently, even
after updates are installed?
