Re saving macros problem
Hi Stefan,
"Stefan Blom" wrote Since you have replied to an old thread, I see your post out of context As I don't understand exactly Kaye's problem, here the discussion: Active post from kaye123: [Word 2013] I am obviously having problems saving my macro on some documents as stated below. I need to read up on my problem. What questions should I ask please? I use a macro to change footnotes in word. Original question from 26. Sept. 2013: I changed my footnote spacing by using a macro (a long time ago). I don't know if my problems with this macro lately is why I have been loosing all italics in my footnotes as I work with my document. I use citation software and you can't change it manually. I don't know what is happening and what I should be looking at to troubleshoot the problem. I don't know if they are related to each other. So as a first step is there a simple answer as to why footnotes are changing without factoring in my macro? I don't really want to get into a discussion about my macro at this stage. Can anyone through any light on this please? Using Word 2013. My answer from 26. Sept. 2013: ITALIC usually toggles: normal text will be formatted italic, italic text will be formatted back to normal. Maybe, your macro or something else resetted italic to normal. Or anybody/anything reapplied the style "Footnotetext", so italic was removed... -- Cheers, Lisa |

Re saving macros problem
Lisa,
I remember those posts (from you and kaye123) in a completely different thread (with the subject "Losing italics in my footnotes"). We have to wait for kaye123 to give us more information... -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Lisa Wilke-Thissen" wrote in message ...

I have posted a full explanation of my problem. However as to the italics this appears to be separate as the macro is just for spacing of the footnotes and other documents haven't been changed. What do you mean here please? Why are3 some docs ok and not others? ITALIC usually toggles: normal text will be formatted italic, italic text will be formatted back to normal. If it wasn't anything to do with the macro what else would cause this please? However if it is related to my overall problems oformal.docm please advise? OI have added a bit onto my problem and a link that tells me what happens but not a solution. I stated that I now know that normal.docm is by default a macro enabled template. kind regards |

Re saving macros problem
Could you show us the code of the macro in question?
With regards to italics being a toggle, this just means that if you apply italics to regular text, you get italics (not surprisingly). However, if you apply it again to the same text, you get regular text back. This may cause unexpected results if there is a style conflict and/or if italics resurface if you haven't modified a style correctly.

Regards[/quote] Thanks Stefan . Ok will try again and see if I can attach macro.. Macro. Obviously this is stopping my message from going through. Normal template :. This article describes my problem in "Read only mode" with screenshots. http://www.wordarticles.com/Articles...tes/Normal.php I also get documents back from proofing but this has been fine for months. No problem. Should I change any settings to allow this. Italics These are only in footnotes an I use endnote citation software. I have had to redo it manually but it reverts. I found some endnote files in global template. Perhaps they are not supposed to be there , I only recall one of them being there.Sent a post to forum but no reply. It hasn’t changed any of my other proofed documents. It seemed to happen with normal template. Macro It is just for changing footnote to ordinary number not superscript and gives me spacing. I have been using it a long time now. Strange. I went to make a new word doc to past macro but the new doc had writing on it. it is one I used for a couple of lines yesterday but it was still there in a new document!! I have attached the doc from word.. Stefan just went into normal template and it brought up the same blank doc that had words written on it. Does this help explain any problems? When I sent the above message to you I got another message about template but too quick to see. Closed word and went into normal.docm and that is when I found the new document with words still on it. This is getting worse.Many thanks Last edited by kaye123 : November 1st 13 at 11:35 PM Reason: More information |

Re saving macros problem
Are you trying to post an example document? Whether you can "attach" a file
or not depends on how you access these groups. What you can do is upload a file to SkyDrive and post a link here. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "kaye123" skrev i meddelandet ...
