I've never had this problem. If your options settings are not being saved,
perhaps you need to rebuild the Word Data key in the Registry?

I do that *every time* the lil' bugger shows up! The only one ever
checked
is "Show Office Clipboard Automatically", and it gets unchecked every
time.
The only thing I can figure out is I accidentally press CTRL+C twice,
which
invokes it the same as picking it from the Edit menu, regardless of what I
want Word to do.

Word needs a "Smith Corona" mode, I tell ya!

If you're talking about the Office Clipboard, there is. I never see it
except when occasionally I click on it on the Edit menu in order to give
the
instructions I'm about to provide: At the bottom left corner of the task
pane is an Options button. Click on it and make sure that none of the
Show
options is checked.

Thanks, Suzanne. Now if there was only some way to permanently kill
that
Copy Task Pane . . .

No, this has been true in every version of Word, but more recent
versions
of
Word have permitted saving toolbars, shortcut keys, macros, etc., in
documents as well as templates.

Geez! Did they just add that for Word XP? Okay - I think that
clears
up
my
mystery. Now, to clear up my toolbars!

Thanks.

What is called the "customization context" is important he when
you
add
your toolbar button, check what is selected for "Save in" in the
Customize
dialog.

Additionally, I added the strike-through button onto the toolbar
of
the
New
doc - and now it's showing up TWICE on the toolbar for the report
doc!
Can
someone tell me what's going on?

It seems like adding menu command and macro buttons to my
toolbars
has
become specific to documents, or at least Word instances, in
Word
XP.
I
was in Word 2000 last month, and had no problems adding a
button
for
a
menu command or a macro to a toolbar - it would be there the
next
time
I
opened Word, and it would be there for every document. Not so
in
Word
XP - a button added may not be there the next time I open a
different
document.

For example, I am using strike-through a lot on my current
report,
so
I
added the button through Tools Customize. I can open the
report
doc
again and it's still there. While the report doc is open, I
click
New -
and the button is missing! Normal.dot has been saved a dozen
times
since
I added that button - but it's not there is a New doc created
on
Normal!

What gives??!?
