Word Settings not saving from one session to another
Can anyone answer why my style settings will not save in a template in 2007
when it is editing a 2003 template? Also, I cannot seem to get the settings for my workgropy template location to stick between sessions. I am having other similar problems throughout the program. I am getting inconsistent results keeping persistent settings between sessions. For example, I change the settings for the normal style to Arial 12 and tell it not to use any spacing after or before paragraphs. I tell them to save it to the template, then save the template, close it open new document and the defaults are right back to calisti font and 10 pts spacing after paragraphs. This is extremely aggravating. |

Deleting the Data key might fix these problems. See

that key doesn't seem to be in the Word 2007 registry settings. Or 2003 it
looks like either. Any idea where they moved them? "Stefan Blom" wrote: Deleting the Data key might fix these problems.

If the key is not present it could explain a lot, but more likely you are
looking in the wrong place - http://www.gmayor.com/my_toolbars_are_missing.htm should help you locate it. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Gustyn wrote: that key doesn't seem to be in the Word 2007 registry settings.

still can't find that key. I looked at the picture you had on your site,
word 2007 (or 12.0 in the registry has a significantly different structure. I found a user settings in the tree at the same level as Word that has a bunch of stuff but nothing that says data under there either.

It looks exactly the same here in Windows XP?
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\W ord\Data If the key is not present, Word 2007 automatically adds it on startup. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Gustyn wrote: still can't find that key.

Word Settings not saving from one session to another
OK, even after fixing the data key, I seem to be having some problems getting
things to persist. The one that bugs me at the moment is compatibility level. I tell word under advanced options in word options that I want all new documents to be compatible with 2003. I save it etc. Open a new doc, check back to that option and it still has compatibility to 2007 displayed. Is that just the default value that is displayed and not what the actual value is or is my setting not getting saved at all? Anyone know?

New unsaved documents are all in Word's internal format. The issue of
compatibility doesn't occur until you save the document. If you want to save in compatibility options - set the Word Options Save to Word 97 - 2003. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Gustyn wrote: OK, even after fixing the data key, I seem to be having some problems getting things to persist.
