default settings lost when I exit Word
I initiate new default settings, e.g. font margins, but they do not exist
after I exit Word. Similarly, new macros and custom toolbars are lost. I do not want to re-create these every time I use Word. MS Office Word 2003 sp2 |

Do you have the full version of Acrobat 7? See the last section of

My business web security blocked your website, but the address implied
something to do with Adobe toolbars. I de-activated the PDF Create toolbar and the problem is coreected. Thank you!

Well, that's one approach, but the issue is that if you have Adobe Acrobat 7
installed (not any previous version), it prevents Normal.dot from being saved. You can get a patch from Adobe that is supposed to correct this. Meanwhile, you can force a save of Normal.dot after modifying it by using Shift+File | Save All. -- Suzanne S.

Thanks for the details, Suzaane. I will get the patch, although the
nickle-dime approach gets me through the day. "Suzanne S.

Is there some reason why your business security is blocking my web site? I
have tried to make the site as inoffensive as possible - no pop-ups etc., just useful information? If the people who want the information I am providing are blocking it, then frankly I don't know why I bother wasting my time -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Tom Saczynski wrote: My business web security blocked your website, but the address implied something to do with Adobe toolbars.

We are a large organization and the IT department is mandated to curb abuse
and employ Websense. From Websense, 'Reason: The Websense category "Personal Web Sites" is filtered.' I get good stuff, like yours, from my computer at home. The IT guys provide very good support, although I hate to heckle them with 'small' problems that I might be able to fix myself. Of course, being only semi-competent, I am more likely to mess things up. Please do not be disheartened , Graham. Your good work is very appreciated.

This seems to be very common. The Web site I maintain for my Rotary club (a
totally volunteer effort) uses "personal Web space" at http://home.earthlink.net/~fairhoperotary. We're a small-town club, so most of our members are not working for large corporations, but a couple of the bankers and stockbrokers are unable to access the Rotary site from work. It's a PITA but a fact of modern business life. -- Suzanne S.

How do you hit Shift+File? Where is "File" located? is it a keystroke or an
icon on the screen or dropdown? thanks! Kate "Suzanne S.
