Template keeps changing measurement units, Word 2003
It should only affect the view of that document and should not affect your
normal.dot or other important settings unless something else is at work. For example, if you have set defaults to automatically detect languages and one of the users has used a different language and saved it to the document, when it comes back, Word will detect that language and switch to it. Also, Word documents tend to open in the view they were saved in - so that may open differently than your default. So check that your language settings are not set to Automatically Detect, remove unwanted installed languages if possible and check that none of the many other settings - particularly styles - are set to Automatically Update.

Thanks, and of course its not pixel, but points So this means that the settings of a word document that is sent around to different people outside our office in word form can change with each user depending on the settings on their pc, and comes back to me basically with the settings of the last user. What I cannot understand that this causes the normal.dot on my pc to be influenced and changed by the preference of another. Is that really how it works? -- Many thanks, and have a good day Ursula A. "Terry Farrell" wrote: Default units are solely the choice of the user logged into Word. You cannot dictate that everyone uses your preferences. However, are you sure that you are seeing pixels (points or picas but not pixels)? If someone has Asian Languages enabled it will have changed to the units that are used for laying out Asian Languages. The only way to stop Word documents or templates from changing when on another users computer is to use PDF. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Ursula A." wrote in message news Hi, We are mystified by the fact that our word template keeps changing when documents are sent to different receipients. When the documents are returned to us, the formating often is changed. For example the options of the measurement units change from centimeters to pixels. what is a reliable way to safeguard that our template formating does not change every now and then? -- Many thanks, and have a good day Ursula A. |
