allow a4/letter resizing
Hello. I have found this forum very helpful. Thank you very much. I could not
get a number of my Word6 docs to print when changing top and bottom margins until unchecking allow a4/ letter resizing under tools after seeing this in the forum. I have found that this option reverts back to the original setting, but I don't know why. It may only be when updates come thru becuase I can uncheck the box, restart my computer and find the setting unchecked on all docs as I want it to be. How can I keep this resize box unchecked permanently, even after updates are installed? |

If you are now using Word 2003, note that it has an unfortunate habit of
randomly losing some settings in tools options. The only satisfactory cure is to set those errant settings using autonew and autoopen macros in normal.dot the following line in each of those macros will sort this particular issue. Options.MapPaperSize = False See http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Greg S wrote: Hello.

Hi Graham,
Thanks for the fix. Wow!! I went to the idiots' guide and I feel like an idiot! I have never done anything with macros and I don't really understand what a macro is but I get the idea. I will attempt the guide and see how I go. I take it the code for the macro is Options.MapPaperSize = False Do I need to do the macro in modules if I am setting it up as autonew and autopen? Where will I get instructions for this? As you can see I am a bit lost when it comes to macros.

Create a new module - call it automacros - and copy the two macros below
into it. Sub AutoNew() Options.MapPaperSize = False End Sub Sub AutoOpen() Options.MapPaperSize = False End Sub These macros will grow as you find other problems you want to correct The ones below are from my current PC Sub AutoNew() ActiveWindow.ActivePane.DisplayRulers = True ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.ShowAll = False ActiveWindow.DisplayHorizontalScrollBar = True ActiveWindow.DisplayVerticalScrollBar = True With ActiveWindow.View .Type = wdPrintView .Zoom.Percentage = 500 .Zoom.Percentage = 100 .FieldShading = wdFieldShadingWhenSelected .ShowFieldCodes = False .DisplayPageBoundaries = True .ShowDrawings = True End With CommandBars("Reviewing").Visible = False CommandBars("Drawing").Visible = False CommandBars("Forms").Visible = False CommandBars("Mail Merge").Visible = False End Sub Sub Autoopen() ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName ActiveWindow.ActivePane.DisplayRulers = True ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.ShowAll = False ActiveWindow.DisplayHorizontalScrollBar = True ActiveWindow.DisplayVerticalScrollBar = True With ActiveWindow.View .Type = wdPrintView .Zoom.Percentage = 500 .Zoom.Percentage = 100 .FieldShading = wdFieldShadingWhenSelected .ShowFieldCodes = False .DisplayPageBoundaries = True .ShowDrawings = True End With End Sub Sub AutoExec() CommandBars("Reviewing").Visible = False CommandBars("Drawing").Visible = False CommandBars("Forms").Visible = False CommandBars("Mail Merge").Visible = False Application.OnTime _ When:=Now + TimeValue("00:00:01"), Name:="CodesOff" End Sub Sub CodesOff() On Error GoTo oops: ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.ShowAll = False oops: End Sub -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Greg S wrote: Hi Graham, Thanks for the fix.

The current version of Word (2003) is quite stable and has relatively few
bugs. It does have a few idiosyncracies but there are usually answers to them. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Greg S wrote: Many thanks Graham.
