Return Address Won't Save
Every time I print a label I have to retype my return
address. Word asks if I want to save it and I say "Yes, of course". But, the next day, it is not there again. Why? How do I get Word to retain it? I am using Office 2003 on XP Pro. I remember having the same problem using Word 97 a couple of years ago. Somebody back then told me it was a corrupt registry but I remember it coming back after fresh installs of Windows. I find it hard to believe that my registry is corrupt again with a fresh copy of XP and Office 2003 (and on a different machine). |

Yes, I believe that when you tell Word to save the return
address as the default then it stuffs it into the User Info Tab. At least I think that is how it works. I just checked and it is in there because I manually entered the return address again today. But, I am expecting that this will not survive another reboot. -----Original Message----- Have you entered your address on the User Information tab of Tools | Options? -- Suzanne S.

Problem solved. I found that the Windows file cleaning
utility that I use was deleting the saved return address. I use a program named CrapCleaner that I had set to clear tracks from Office2003 as well as the standard settings to clear temp files, internet tracks, etc. I just noticed that immediately after running CrapCleaner I lost my saved address from User Info. I unchecked the appropriate option in CrapCleaner and all is well. I am posting this for everyone else's benefit now. If anybody else posts a similar problem then you can ask them about track clearing utilities. -----Original Message----- Every time I print a label I have to retype my return address.
