disable format warning message on saving
Win 2002 SP3
Win XP HE Hi, is it possible to disable the "format warning message"--for example: "filename.txt may contain features that are not compatible with Plain Text format. Do you wan tot save the document in this format? To save click Yes. To preserve formatting click No." If there is either a setting or a registry hack or anything else to disable this--so it doesn't always show up when saving, I would love to know about it. Thank a lot! -- |

I assume you are actually saving as Plain Text intentionally?

Well, it was always possible that you had the file type set to .txt
inadvertently. We can't always tell a poster's level of expertise from a short message. In any case, I don't know the answer (which I imagine will require VBA) but wanted to make sure that anyone who did post it would not be doing so in vain, when what you really needed was just to change the file type. -- Suzanne S.

don't worry about other people.
they can take care of themselves, believe me. don't reply if u don't know the answer. it just wastes time for u and for the op. also it could give the false impression the op might have been answered already to someone casually looking at what threads to reply to--god knows there are enough of them to read. -- Suzanne S.

Well, you did post in the .newusers NG, and we tend to assume that new users
may be less clueful than more experienced ones. g -- Suzanne S.

Using
Application.DisplayAlerts = wdAlertsNone in a macro to save the documents should prevent the warning from appearing. -- Hope this helps.

Doug, thanks a lot for ur reply.
quick question: would that macro not disable ALL warning messages of *any* kind? if so, that might be overkill for me as *some* warning messages *are* useful. i am just trying to disable that one; or ones of that kind--the save in format, etc.... -- Doug Robbins - Word MVP wrote: Using Application.DisplayAlerts = wdAlertsNone in a macro to save the documents should prevent the warning from appearing. |

Create a macro to do the saving and after the save command in the macro,
include Application.DisplayAlerts = wdAlertsAll -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.
