sp tags appearing in Word with Text Boxes
Hello there, I am not sure if this is the right newgroup to be posting this
in but if not I would appreciate it if someone could advise which group I should be using. Here is the problem, I have a user who whenever they open a document or create a new one that has a text box in it the txt SP seems to appear along side it. This cannot be removed without the text box being removed. Does anybody have any idea why this would be happening and how to prevent it? Many Thanks Glen Knight |

Hi GKnight,
Well, this isn't normal for Word, which is probably why you haven't gotten a response. Everyone is waiting for someone who HAS seen it to chime in, and the question hasn't really been up here THAT long, yet. Not mentioning the Word version where you're seeing this doesn't help... If you want my opinion, you have an Addin on your machine that's probably the cause. Start Word in Safe Mode and see if the problem persists? Can anybody help?? "GKnight" wrote in message ...

sp tags appearing in Word with Text Boxes
It is in Word 2003, it isn't anything to do with the machine as I have tried
this particular user on other computers. However if another user opens the same word document it doesn't appear. You cannot delete the sp tag without the picture box being removed. It also comes out on the printouts. Any advise would be greatly received. "Cindy M -WordMVP-" wrote in message news:VA.0000b6d9.01ea9700@speedy...

sp tags appearing in Word with Text Boxes
I'm afraid I have no answer for this, but I have seen the issue raised once
before. In that case it was a backspace character (ascw code 8, length 1) - but that information didn't help solve it - and I couldn't get a backspace artificially inserted into a document to display like that (although there may be a font which does so). Absolutely any further information you can provide may help - but, as Cindy says, this ain't normal! -- Enjoy, Tony "GKnight" wrote in message ... Can anybody help?? "GKnight" wrote in message ...

Hi GKnight,
You still haven't reported whether things behave any differently if Word is started in Safe Mode? If you're using PROFILES (apparently so), then that still doesn't rule out an Addin. In this case, it would be something specific to the user profile, is all. You might start by checking what's in his/her STARTUP folder for Word. It is in Word 2003, it isn't anything to do with the machine as I have tried this particular user on other computers. However if another user opens the same word document it doesn't appear. You cannot delete the sp tag without the picture box being removed. It also comes out on the printouts.

I am getting the same behavior in Word 2003. Safe mode removes the problem.
But there's nothing disabled when in safe mode. And there's no add-ins or templates running on startup. Any other suggestions to resolve this?

I have solved the problem by the renaming the folder in the registry
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\W ord\Data When I restarted Word, the problem was not there. Andrew Tate "Andrew Tate" wrote: I am getting the same behavior in Word 2003.

Hi Glen,
I have solved the problem by the renaming the folder in the registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\W ord\Data Thanks for posting back with the "solution". Given that the DATA key was storing the setting (whatever it is), my best guess is that the behavior is related to either an Asian or right-to-left language setting. Possibly, some addin or macro once activated a setting that would be available in Tools/Options if whatever-environment this comes from were running on the machine... As I say, just my best guess. But I'll try to remember this the next time a similar issues crops up and someday might even figure out what it is!
