Id like to have Word always open with a flush (left margin) indents.

Every time I start word I get the default indent settings, and Id like to
change these to become the settings that I had the last time I was using the
program. or if I have to take the template approach, how I can have it always
open my a certain template.

Im using Word 2007, and I almost always start up Word from the Run command.

Keyboard Shortcut €˜Windows Button + €˜R
Run: winword

I dont know if this always keeps causing Word to revert to the default
settings. But I just thought that I should mention it just in case it might
make a difference. And Im not using the /n tag ( winword /n) either.


Take Care,
And thanks f you can help!

That little missing i carries with it some pretty big implications.

Sorry about that. : -)

I try to be a nice guy most of the time.

The forum is actually a frontend to an old fashioned newsgroup. This means
that an "Edit" button will never be available as most people just download
all the messages in one go. You editing after they have downloaded them to
process 'offline' would make them meaningless.

I'm guessing you are talking about paragraph indentation for the normal
style. If so, open Word, right click on the "Normal" style on the "Home" tab
and select modify. Use the "Format" button to set the paragraph indentation
to your wishings. When you return to that dialog (after setting your
paragraph settings), select "New documents based on this template" and press
"OK".

From now on, new documents should stick to your new settings.

Hi Yves,

Thanks so much for answering my last question !!

If possible could you point me in the right direction regarding what I'd
need in order to use this forum like the old fashion newsgroup you're talking
about here.

I presume I need to get some sort of newsgroup viewer (for lack of a better
word).

I'm not sure what I need, but I might as well learn how to use this in the
same fashion as others do.


Thanks Again, and Take Care,

Jim

You can use either Outlook Express (if you are running Windows XP); Windows
Mail (if it's Vista) or Windows Live Mail if running Windows 7

Then the way you set up newsgroup accounts is virtually the same for all 3,
though the following instructions are specifically for Outlook Express:

1.1. Connect to a newsgroup server using Outlook Express
Open Outlook Express and follow these steps:
1. On the Tools menu, click Accounts.
2. In the Internet Account dialog box, click Add, and then click News.
The Internet Connection Wizard starts. Follow these steps in the wizard:
1. On the first screen, in the Display name box, type the name that other
users will see when you post a message to the newsgroup, and then click
Next.
2. On the second screen, type your full e-mail address in the E-mail address
box, and then click Next.
3. On the third screen, in the News (NNTP) Server box, type the name of your
news server. To subscribe to the newsgroups hosted on Microsoft's servers,
type msnews.microsoft.com. If you don't know the name of your news server,
contact your Internet provider.
4. If necessary, select the My news server requires me to log on check box,
and then click Next. If you don't know whether your server requires you to
log on, contact your Internet provider. The Microsoft server does not
require a user name and password.
5. On the last screen, click Finish.
3. Click Close, and then click Yes when asked if you want to download
newsgroups from the account you just created. The Newsgroup Subscriptions
dialog box appears.
4. Select the newsgroups you want to use, click Subscribe, and then click
OK.

Note Most of Microsoft newsgroups use this naming convention:
microsoft.public.application_name.specific_area. For example: you could
subscribe to microsoft.public.office.dataanalyzer, or
microsoft.public.excel.programming. However, that isn't always the case.
Don't be afraid to browse the list of groups in order to find something that
you think will be useful.

5. On the Tools menu, click Options, click the Read tab, and then clear the
Get 300 headers at a time check box.
6. Click the Maintenance tab, clear the Delete new messages n days after
being downloaded check box, and then click OK.
Step 5 allows you to download and read all the newsgroup's postings when you
first subscribe. Step 6 allows you to read older messages.
1.2. Subscribe or unsubscribe to newsgroups
After you establish a connection to your newsgroup server, you add
newsgroups to your list by subscribing. You can subscribe or unsubscribe to
newsgroups at any time. Typically, you use the group name as a guide when
subscribing. For example, a name such as
microsoft.public.office.developer.outlook.forms would be a good place to
start if you need help writing a custom form for Outlook.
To subscribe
1. Start Outlook Express.
2. In the folder pane, click the name of your news server. For example, if
you established a connection to Microsoft's server, click
msnews.microsoft.com.
3. In the main viewing pane, click Newsgroups.
4. In the Newsgroup Subscriptions dialog box, select a newsgroup from the
list, and then click Subscribe.
5. Repeat the previous step to subscribe to additional newsgroups, and then
click OK when you finish.
6. In the main viewing pane, double-click the name of the new newsgroup. If
you only want to receive new messages since the last time you visited,
select the New messages only check box, and then double-click the newsgroup
name.

Note When you subscribe to a newsgroup for the first time, you receive all
the messages whether or not you select the New messages only check box.
To unsubscribe
€¢ In the Outlook Express folder pane, right-click the newsgroup that you
want to stop using, and then click Unsubscribe on the shortcut menu.
Tips
€¢ To reduce the number of items in the list of available newsgroups, enter a
phrase in the Display newsgroups which contain box. For instance, you can
enter an application name such as "publisher" or the name of a discipline
such as "programming." The list changes automatically when you finish
typing.
€¢ Newsgroups in languages other than English are identified by their names;
for example, microsoft.public.fr.excel is a newsgroup for Microsoft Excel
users who speak French.

Hope this helps.

Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my
services on a paid consulting basis.
