How do I stop word from opening another document when I am typing
I just got a new computer and am using Microsoft Word 2003. While I am
typing a letter several things are occuring; the font and the style changes constantly, it indents automatically on something that shouldn't be indented, and it seems to open a new blank word document automatically while I am typing and pulls me off to the new document. Also, the Find/Replace feature keeps popping up while I am typing. Please help because all of these pop ups are slowing me down. |

Sounds like you haven't come to terms with your new touch pad.

The opening a new document results from inadvertently pressing Ctrl+N.

It's that CTRL key. if you hit it instead of SHIFT you'll end up
starting all sorts of things. Suzanne S. Barnhill wrote: The opening a new document results from inadvertently pressing Ctrl+N. Happens to me not infrequently and always startles me. -- Suzanne S.

I've had to deliberately disable a lot of control functions on my wife's copy of Word because she often hits control instead of shift. On one occasion she hit control-A and then replaced the entire contents of her file with a single space. Without realizing it until it was too late of course Since she uses the mouse rather than control functions, it's not a problem. -- Bob http://www.kanyak.com |

Thank you. Out of all the answers, yours was the most descriptive. I hope
you are right in my case and I am sure that you are. How do I disable the control functions? I do notice that on this keyboard the CTRL key sits up a little higher than the shift key. That would explain why so many things were happening. Becky "Opinicus" wrote: wrote It's that CTRL key. if you hit it instead of SHIFT you'll end up starting all sorts of things.
