Cat paws or dog paws? Seriously though, this has nothing to do with
document management in Word, or did you means PASW (http://www.statisticssolutions.com/s...ss-software/)? -- Hope this helps.

I thought this might be a reference to some Office Assistant, but there
doesn't seem to be one by this name. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote in message ...

how can I keep Paws after upgrading
It may refer to that wonderful old screensaver (with time-wasting
games) that had dogs or cats chewing up the desktop? I had a Mac version but I think it came in PC, too. I no longer see commercial screensavers in the discount software racks, so I imagine the genre has gone away. They were mostly just sets of photos that would rotate (I had Hubble Telescope photos, and Ansel Adams photos), and that's built in, with your own selections, to Windows now. But I kinda miss the novelty ones. On Mar 17, 9:58*pm, "Suzanne S.

how can I keep Paws after upgrading
The whole idea of screensavers is pretty passé, but I did have a copy of
After Dark on my first system (the one that had an aquarium with swimming fish, for example). It, however, was responsible for some idiosyncrasies in my use of Word, one of which persists to this day. Because AD had appropriated the Ctrl+Shift+M keyboard shortcut to mute the display, I was unable to assign it to an em dash (I do have Ctrl+Shift+N for an en dash), so my em dash is Ctrl+M, with the result that I can't use that combination to indent (not that I would want to, but sometimes I want to test things for users). And it must have used Ctrl+Shift+C or Ctrl+Shift+V for something, too, because it was years before I could get those to work as advertised to copy and paste formatting because they were assigned to something else. -- Suzanne S.

Don't you miss the flying toasters?
And then there was the very noisy one with a farmer on a giant machine that plowed up the desktop in horizontal and vertical stripes ... The built-ins for en- and em-dash are Ctrl(-Alt)-minus [on the keypad], so you don't need a custom one. (Lifting from the keyboard at that point isn't onerous because they represent a break in thought anyway.) On Mar 18, 8:31*am, "Suzanne S.

how can I keep Paws after upgrading
For many years I didn't have access to the numeric keypad (had a mouse
platform covering it), and I would still find it very much more trouble to use than my custom shortcuts, which are now so ingrained as to be as easy as typing, say Shift+- to get an underline (actually easier since I always have to look at the keyboard to be sure of accurately hitting anything on the top row of keys). -- Suzanne S.
