Plain text formatting entire document
I am at a new firm and things are done a bit differently. Novell/Win XP
clients/ Office 2003. I have a user who scans a document, cuts the text out, then uses Paste Special to paste as Plain Text into a fresh doc. When she tries to say Bold, or Center just a single line, the ENTIRE document becomes bold or centered or whatever. If she selects two or more lines, it does not happen. I have cleaned out the keyboard, and looked for every switch imaginable. Has anyone seen this and what is the fix? Do we need to reinstall Word? Thanks, -Monica |

Thanks Charles, but this was for 2002 and we are using 2003. The image is
set to have that option cleared by default. So it is not workign still.

Hi Monica,
It's a document/template setting... Are you really sure it's not checked = in some of her document(s) or template(s)? And it applies to Word2003 docs just as well as Word2002.

Yes, I am very very sure. They don't even use "prompt to update style" or
auto lists or anything. You want I should send a screen shot? -Monica "Klaus Linke" wrote in message ... Hi Monica, It's a document/template setting...

No, don't post a screen shot, but I would be interested in seeing a small
sample. You can send it to my email. -- Suzanne S.

Ok - it gets even MORE annoying.
I have gone through and found EVERY copy of Normal.dot possible and made sure that ther eis NO check in the box for "Update Automatically" for the Normal Style. However, whether the user opens a new blank doc from MailSite or just directly from Word directly, the dang thing STILL turns it back on for a new blank doc!! I have saved over the template, I have used "FilePage Setup DEfault" to modify the template...NOTHING IS WORKING. Where is the copy of Normal.dot that the winword.exe accesses when it starts up? I thought I found every copy when I did search, but some how, I must be missing one. Grrrrr. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

This is most likely the result of an add-in modifying Word.
