Paragraph and space marks? Do you mean the toggle setting CTRL+* ()?
Note that changes made to tools options are not stored in normal.dot but the registry. As for measurements - do you have the problem at http://www.gmayor.com/Character_Units.htm ? -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org DSJR wrote: I want to change my normal template in word 2003 -- to add paragraph & space marks, inches .... this is what I have done and while the change works in the short term, when I start up the pc the next day word is back to its original state: I navigated to: documents & settings username application data microsoft template right clicked to open normal.doc made the changes and saved .. and they were gone the next day what did I do wrong? or, what else could I try? thanks d |

thank you Graham .. yes to paragraph and space marks .. in fact, I want to
add most of the formatting marks under tools option view .. and to change the units of measure in the same place under general .. I tried the link you gave me but it didn't work for me .. maybe because I am using word 2003? How do I make a default change to the registry? d "Graham Mayor" wrote: Paragraph and space marks?

Ordinarily Word preserves the view in which you close it (see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/SaveViewAndZoom.htm), but in Word 2000 and above, because of SDI, the view can be more window-dependent. The KB article WD2002: Rules for Hide white space between pages at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=297564 explains how this works for "white space," and the same (per window, per document) seems to be pretty much true for other display features (view, Zoom, ruler, nonprinting characters, etc.) as well. -- Suzanne S.
