Hidden Text checkbox checked
I have a Master Document with Sub Documents. Tools, Options, View, Formtting
marks, Hidden text checkbox. I work on my document with this checkbox "unchecked". Every time I open the document, the checkbox is again checked. How do I permanently keep the Hidden text checkbox "unchecked". Will appreciate any available assistance. Thank You...... -- DcM |

Sorry, I don't have an answer because I don't use Master Documents. However,
you may need the reason I don't more than you need an answer. "Master Document" is a term of art in Word referring to a "feature" that not only doesn't work but also destroys documents. The consensus (with the limited exception of Steve Hudson) among those offering advice on these newsgroups is that using the Master Document feature is a good way to destroy your document. It can destroy parts of your document that you are not even working on! I think John McGhie said it succinctly when he said that there are two kinds of Master Documents: Those that are corrupt and those that will be corrupt soon. See http://www.addbalance.com/word/masterdocuments.htm for information on the Master Document feature and workarounds. See http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Genera...ocsCorrupt.htm for more information on what goes wrong, and http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Genera...MasterDocs.htm for ideas on how to salvage what you can. See http://www.techwr-l.com/techwhirl/ma...masterdocs.doc for Steve Hudson's instructions if you are willing to follow them very carefully. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

Hidden Text checkbox checked
Thank you for the information ~ albeit "bad news". My document is over 700
pages of text, tables and lots of images! I've experienced some gremlins and gnomes; but thus far my document doesn't appear to be corrupted. Thus my concern....... Do you have any suggestions for an alternative method of working with a sizeable document? I welcome any ideas available.
