Default MVP ethics {} codes in Word - make them go away!

Mr. Peter Daniels (aka grammatim),

As for your "which he childishly noted he would refuse to read anyway,"

Once again, I was simply returning another stone that you cast last spring.

"If I see another email from you, I will delete it unopened."

You didn't like the look of one of my posts in this newgroup so you engaged
your pen before your brain and implied that it was discourteous. When I
confronted you privately about your comments you disavowed them. It was in
that private exchange that you stubornly refused acknowlegde your insult and
first made the statement quoted above. Tell us, were you acting childishly
or did you just throw a hissy fit that day?

I doubt that anyone cares, but if you puff up and decide to repeat the
private exchanges here then please be sure to include all of them.

Have a pleasant day.

Does the MVP program countenance the use of its domain name for the
sending of abusive private emails to participants in public
newsgroups? I would be happy to post Mr. Maxey's email here and my
response -- which he childishly noted he would refuse to read anyway.

No. I am simply returning the stones that you threw and me about six
months ago.

How is it sarcasm?


That's the second time you've called me "rude."


I don't see you answering the question.


And if you try replying "Word Help," then if OP had known that the
brackety things were "field codes," then OP wouldn't have needed to
ask the question.


What are the top five questions here? Couldn't every one of them be
forestalled by a simple instruction book -- I'm not even asking them
to provide a manual like they used to do (sure, let them try to pull
in another $25 for the simple titles, $50 for the comprehensive
ones, from every buyer). Just some basic instructions.

Someone once asked me if unleashing sarcasm in a public forum
wasn't rude. My, my.

Ugh. After installing End Note I started getting the dreaded
"{}" things in my Word 2003 docs. Instead of photos that
someone had inserted into a document they sent me, I get
{EMBED PBrush}. Instead of blue hyperlinks, I get {HYPERLINK
whatever}, which I can't click on to access. I don't have
these problems with these documents on my work computer. How
can I get my photos and hyperlinks back? When I revealed the
codes I didn't see anything amiss except that one said the
language was French (the documents are from West Africa).
