Permanently enable "view hidden text"
I would like to always see all hidden text in any documents I open.
How? I am using Word 2002. Currently I have to click Tools / Options / View / Hidden text all the time. |

If the option doesn't stick, you may have to delete the Data key in
the registry. For details, see: http://word.mvps.org/faqs/apperrors/MissingMenusEtc.htm -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP wrote in message ups.com...

Permanently enable "view hidden text"
I am using my work computer, with no administrator access... I can't
edit Windows 2000 registry. Is there any workaround? Is registry the problem? |

Well, deleting the Data key might fix the problem, as stated in the
article. Another possibility is that a log-in script deletes the Data key on each log-in (which restores a lot of settings to their factory defaults) or that an add-in has code in it to set options when Word starts. You'll have to ask the administrator about this. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP wrote in message oups.com... I am using my work computer, with no administrator access...

A less drastic course would be to add the line
ActiveWindow.View.ShowHiddenText = True to an autoopen macro in normal.dot http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Stefan Blom wrote: Well, deleting the Data key might fix the problem, as stated in the article.

Unless of course a log-in script replaces normal.dot, in which case
that wouldn't be possible. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ...
