{} codes in Word - make them go away!
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). |

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

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. On Aug 5, 11:40 pm, "Greg Maxey" wrote: Someone once asked me if unleashing sarcasm in a public forum wasn't rude.

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

MVP ethics {} codes in Word - make them go away!
FWIW the MVPS.ORG domain name has nothing to do with Microsoft's MVP
program. It is a privately run e-mail/web server provided for the use of current and former MVPs. While I don't wish to get too embroiled in rights and wrongs of this minor spat, and am not interested in what has gone on privately by e-mail, I too read your comment "WHY DOESN'T WORD COME WITH INSTRUCTIONS!!!!!!!!!!" as a sarcastic riposte to the poster. If you are prone to posting sarcastic comments in a public forum (and I can recall at least one occasion where you found it necessary to add a sarcastic comment to one of my posts) then you should not be too surprised if people respond to that. Whether or not sarcasm was your intention in this instance is another matter. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org grammatim wrote: Does the MVP program countenance the use of its domain name for the sending of abusive private emails to participants in public newsgroups?

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. grammatim wrote: Does the MVP program countenance the use of its domain name for the sending of abusive private emails to participants in public newsgroups?

There should _never_ be private email responses to newsgroup postings.
There you go again. At first you proclaimed yourself the newsgroup courtesy police and now you want to set private e-mail policy. I am sorry Peter. You don't get to make all of the rules. I have no idea what precisely I said at the time ... I am not surprised. You couldn't remember what you said the very day you said it. That fact that I have not forgotten your insult and your refusal acknowledge it and apologize may just mean that I have a better memory than you. I don't see you answering the question. Who is not answering the question now? I will paraphrase it again just in case it is you who has trouble with simple English: "When I confronted you privately about your comments you disavowed them. It was in that private exchange that you stubornly refused to acknowlegde your insult and first made the statement: "If I see another email from you, I will delete it unopened." Tell us, were you acting childishly or did you just throw a hissy fit that day? Why didn't you post all of the previous messages Peter? You could have posted a link to the original post and replies and all of our previous private exchanges. Are you afraid that everyone would see how wrapped up you are in yourself and what a small package you make?

MVP ethics {} codes in Word - make them go away!
What if you wanted to write to me about something that had nothing to

MVP ethics {} codes in Word - make them go away!
Peter,
In all public confrontations one has to make the choice to continue the offensive and counter-attack or retreat. Both of which have there downsides. The question remains. You either acted childishly when you chose to rebuff my earlier attempt to resolve our differences privately or perhaps it is you with the serious illness. Regardless, since I see nothing to be gained by remaining on this field, I choose to withdraw. grammatim wrote: On Aug 6, 6:54 pm, "Greg Maxey" wrote: There should _never_ be private email responses to newsgroup postings. There you go again. At first you proclaimed yourself the newsgroup courtesy police and now you want to set private e-mail policy. I am sorry Peter. You don't get to make all of the rules. I have no idea what precisely I said at the time ... I am not surprised. You couldn't remember what you said the very day you said it. That fact that I have not forgotten your insult and your refusal acknowledge it and apologize may just mean that I have a better memory than you. I don't see you answering the question. Who is not answering the question now? I will paraphrase it again just in case it is you who has trouble with simple English: What question? "When I confronted you privately about your comments you disavowed them. It was in that private exchange that you stubornly refused to acknowlegde your insult and first made the statement: "If I see another email from you, I will delete it unopened." Tell us, were you acting childishly or did you just throw a hissy fit that day? Why didn't you post all of the previous messages Peter? You could have posted a link to the original post and replies and all of our previous private exchanges. Are you afraid that everyone would see how wrapped up you are in yourself and what a small package you make? What "previous messages"? If you are brooding over something that happened six months ago, you are seriously ill. Again, have a nice day grammatim wrote: There should _never_ be private email responses to newsgroup postings. Since you have given your permission to reprint your email, here it is; I use the version into which my replies have been added. ***** vide infra From: Gregory K. Maxey To: grammatim Sent: Wednesday, August 6, 2008 8:18:48 AM Subject: {} codes in Word - make them go away! Perhaps it wasn't meant to be. However, from the OPs point of view your use of ALL CAPS could come across as "Read the help file IDIOT" You seem to have trouble with simple English. No I am just throwing back the same stones that you threw at me about six months ago when you engaged your pen before your brain and called me rude. I have no idea what precisely I said at the time, but whatever it was, it was appropriate, and that you have been stewing over it for six months suggests something quite unfortunate about yourself. I don't see you answering the question. No, because Jay Freeman already answered it. Still I am surprised that you didn't think his reply was rude or unprofessional since he "...offered absolutely no discussion of the poster's query." Jay Freeman did not answer the question "Why doesn't Word come with instructions?" Neither did you. Oh, and by the way, if I see a reply message from you I will delete it unread. I'll keep that in mind in case I ever get an email from you again. ***** On Aug 6, 4:39 pm, "Greg Maxey" wrote: 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. grammatim wrote: 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. grammatim wrote: 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. On Aug 5, 11:40 pm, "Greg Maxey" wrote: Someone once asked me if unleashing sarcasm in a public forum wasn't rude.

Why would anyone want to do that? Or, are you looking for penpals?

This isn't the only newsgroup I post in, and it's not at all unlikely
that someone posting to a/the linguistics newsgroup might want to ask something about writing systems without bringing it to the attention of the whole newsgroup community.
