Box position in Word 2002/3
In Word 97, it was possible to position a text box (locked to paragraph,
don't move with text) on a page, fill it with crosslinked references, then cut it and move it to other pages, where it would remember its position (relative to margin or page) and the linkages. You could even move it to a different document and it would remember these things (provided you brought over the linked references as well before closing the document). If you try to do this in Word 2002 or 2003, the box lands apparently randomly on the new page (more often than not half off the page), and can't seem to remember linkages even within the same document. Is this something to do with settings or is the Word getting more forgetful? |

Box position in Word 2002/3
Hi ?B?RXZlciBIb3BlZnVs?=,
In Word 97, it was possible to position a text box (locked to paragraph, don't move with text) on a page, fill it with crosslinked references, then cut it and move it to other pages, where it would remember its position (relative to margin or page) and the linkages. You could even move it to a different document and it would remember these things (provided you brought over the linked references as well before closing the document). If you try to do this in Word 2002 or 2003, the box lands apparently randomly on the new page (more often than not half off the page), and can't seem to remember linkages even within the same document. Is this something to do with settings or is the Word getting more forgetful? It should still work. Word 2002/2003 do have additional things that come into play when you copy/paste (See Tools/Options/Edit/Settings), but as far as I know, none of them would interfere with what you're describing. If you hold down CTRL (force Safe Mode) when starting either of these versions of Word, then test, do you see different behavior? If it behaves itself in Safe Mode then there's likely an Addin interfering with the Clipboard. The next thing to test would be booting Windows in Safe Mode. If that makes a difference, then you have a third-party application, perhaps some kind of document management system or anti-virus, that's interfering with the Clipboard.
