Prevent from altering
You can try to control this by putting an AutoOpen macro in the
document that forces the setting to what you want. One of three or four things will happen: - The other person may have the macro security level set to High. Your macro won't run, and the user won't even notice. - They may have the security level set to Medium. Each time they open the document, they'll get a big ugly warning box that says the document might contain a virus, and do they want to disable or enable the macro? If they click Disable, your macro won't run. If they click Enable, the macro will run, but they won't know why _their_ preference for balloons on the right has been trashed. Either way they'll be ticked at you for making them look at the dialog time after time. - They may have the security level at Low, in which case they're idiots who deserve whatever ill treatment you toss at them. :-( In any case, why are you trying to play dictator? Why does it matter whether the balloons are on the left or the right? You put them where you like, and let everyone else put them where they like.
