un-disable features introduced after Word 95 / 6.0
Microsoft Word has in the Tools - Options dialogue box an annoying little
checkbox to disable features introduced after Word 6.0/95 or Word 97. I do not wish this to be checked. Easy enough, you think? No matter how many times I uncheck this box (including ensuring that it is also unchecked in Normal.dot) it keeps rechecking itself and then not letting me (eg) align text within a table, or save hyperlinks. And if it's in a document that already has these features, it waits until I exit and then says that some things won't be saved because they're not compatible with Word 6! When I turn it off it goes away for the immediate session of Word, possibly for the next one but then comes back. I am going slowly insane. Does anybody know of a way of completely and irrevocably turning this option off? |

un-disable features introduced after Word 95 / 6.0
I don't know why it shouldn't work - it was doing so yesterday when I made
the reply (based on a world-weary cynicism), but this morning I've just created a new blank document and the checkbox is ticked. I have checked the Normal.dot template and the macros are both still there. This left me with two documents open (the blank and Normal). Normal had opened with no tick in the box, the blank document still has it. I have made sure that there is only one copy of Normal on the machine so it shouldn't be looking anywhere else.

Does running the macro from tools macros unset it?

Nope. And what's more, tools macros showed me the Autoopen, but not the
Autonew. Most confusing :-s Is being on a network likely to be an issue? Normal is on the C: drive, and is the only version on it, but could it be pulling one in from a network drive somewhere? My IT department don't seem to have any ideas, and didn't seem to think the issue should be as deep as the registry, as suggested in the post below.

un-disable features introduced after Word 95 / 6.0
This setting as Suzanne has sugegsted, is stored in the registry, in the
Word data settings sub key (see http://www.gmayor.com/my_toolbars_are_missing.htm which shows how to locate it). Renaming or deleting that key will revert a lot of settings to defaults. By removing any corruption in your registry key, this *may* correct the problem, but you will have to restore all your preferences and the problem may return. The macros write the correct setting for each document whether new or existing. If you are not showing autonew in your macros list, you have no autonew macro. Open the macro editor and examine your code. It should show at least: Sub AutoNew() ActiveDocument.DisableFeatures = False End Sub Sub AutoOpen() ActiveDocument.DisableFeatures = False End Sub Checkout http://www.gmayor.com/what_to_do_when_word_crashes.htm also.

OK, I've deleted Normal, recreated it and pasted the code into a new module.
I have no idea why autonew was not in the macro list because when I checked the previous Normal prior to deleting it, it was definitely in there. However it now shows up in the macros list so is definitely there. Thanks for your time and effort.

un-disable features introduced after Word 95 / 6.0
Just when I thought it was safe to go back into the water...
I just opened an existing document, made some edits and was told not compatible with Word 97. I have yet again checked that the macros are there, both by entering the Normal.dot in c:/documents & settings/etc and by looking in the tools macros popup. When I then run any of them from there, they work and untick the box. Is it possible that something else can override the autoopen? Possibly other software or a Normal elsewhere on the network?

un-disable features introduced after Word 95 / 6.0
I really have no idea what the problem is now - though it is entirely
possible for third party add-ins to screw things up. normal.dot should be in the folder defined at tools options file locations user templates - and nowhere else Word has access to. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org The Alpine Haddock wrote: Just when I thought it was safe to go back into the water...
