Fast Save Word 2007
Fast Saves is disabled by default in Word 2007, and the option has been
removed from the UI. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Rosemary" wrote in message ... Hi Could anyone advise me if Word 2007 has a Fast Save option and, if so, how I can turn it off? -- Rosemary |

Fast Save Word 2007
Hi Rosemary,
Fast save option is not available in word 2007 as it is in word 2003. Choose Options from the Tools menu and click the Save tab. Uncheck the Allow Fast Saves option. Click OK. -- GuRuVeEr http://guruveer.blog.com "Rosemary" wrote: Hi Could anyone advise me if Word 2007 has a Fast Save option and, if so, how I can turn it off? -- Rosemary |

Fast Save Word 2007
Hi Suzanne
Thanks for that information. I am dealing with a large document which has become very slow to save, won't update the TOC fully (does page nos. only) and in which the drop down list of cross references misses some of the tables etc. I've been following your instructions on excessive file size which you posted in response to a query from Shawn Fultz a while back, and Fast Save was one possible (and easily addressed) cause. -- Rosemary "Suzanne S.

Fast Save Word 2007
Wait, whether the ToC updates everything (discarding any special
formatting you may have done since the last generation) or just the page numbers is a setting you can change. (Don't ask _me_ where to find it. Suzanne will tell you.) Were all your table titles done by Insert Caption or something similar? (Is it consistent about the ones it fails to list in the XRef panel?)

Fast Save Word 2007
Hi
Thanks for your question - good point. I inherited the documents from 4 authors (all of whom used the same template) and have integrated them into one document. The caption entries mostly work just fine, but some are either: (1) missing from the TOC (Table 5) (2) missing from the drop down cross references list (Tables 2, 3 ,5 10,17). Your suggestion made me wonder how they had put the captions in - perhaps they had been done just as text using the Caption style in the template. So I have just gone in and deleted all the old table captions and put in new ones which I can track ( eg Table 1: new) but the problem persists for exactly the same table captions. There does not seem to any relationship between the source documents and the problem captions - they occur with tables which originated in 3 of the 4 documents. -- Rosemary "grammatim" wrote: Wait, whether the ToC updates everything (discarding any special formatting you may have done since the last generation) or just the page numbers is a setting you can change.

If this were an earlier version, I'd suspect that the captions were in text
boxes (which, in versions prior to 2007, are invisible to the TOC or Cross-reference dialog), but that should not be an issue in 2007. -- Suzanne S.

Fast Save Word 2007
No sign of text boxes, but I have discovered that if I put a dummy Table 2
caption in the document before the real one, the real one updates and becomes visible on the dropdown cross reference menu. However, it reverts to its correct number and becomes invisible again once I delete the dummy table heading. Does that suggest any solution? -- Rosemary "Suzanne S.

Fast Save Word 2007
Not exactly, but here's something you might try. After you insert the dummy
caption and can see Table 2 in the cross-reference dialog, select the real caption and go to the Insert | Bookmark dialog. Check the box for "Hidden bookmarks" and select the radio button for "Location." The bookmark that is highlighted (if any) will be the one for our caption. Click Add. If you don't see a bookmark highlighted, try selecting both captions together, then using Add to place the bookmark around both. Then select just ther "real" caption and go back and Add again. Then delete the extra caption and see how that works. My suspicion is that somehow the bookmark is being added incorrectly when the List of Tables is being generated. -- Suzanne S.

Fast Save Word 2007
Hi Suzanne
Great - thanks for that idea. I willl try it now. The weird thing about this is that the document functions fine in Word 2007 when I accept all the changes, and fine in Word 2003 regardless. The other odd feature is that I cannot copy the caption from )e.g.) Table 1 over the bad one for Table 2 - just won't paste over the top. -- Rosemary "Suzanne S.

I don't think you'd previously mentioned that you had Track Changes enabled.

Oh. Sorry I did not mention it earlier.
But I have been viewing the document with Track Changes switched off and in Final mode - but the drop down menus still malfunction.

Fast Save Word 2007
I think you've gone beyond my expertise, especially given that this is Word
2007; perhaps someone else will have some ideas. But it seems to me increasingly likely that the document may be damaged. There are instructions for laundering documents in Word 2003 and earlier at http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/CorruptDoc.htm; Word 2007's use of XML may dictate a slightly different path, but these methods might still be worth a try, beginning with Open and Repair. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Rosemary" wrote in message ... Oh. Sorry I did not mention it earlier. But I have been viewing the document with Track Changes switched off and in Final mode - but the drop down menus still malfunction.

Fast Save Word 2007
Hi Suzanne
I'll give the document repair another shot. I found the article you mention here in one of your earlier posts, and have worked through the options. None did the trick, I'm afraid. If I ever sort out the answer, I'll post it here for the next sufferer. Many thanks for all your time and help. -- Rosemary "Suzanne S.
