Can't save 5-lines or point size
Word 2000
User has a 5-line return address. When she enters it and clicks YES to save as default, closing Word and reopening it shows the last line is dropped. We can't seem to get it to stick. User also is trying to save the return address as a 8 point font. We have right clicked R.A., changed point size and clicked the Default button to save it, etc. We have also clicked Options, R.A., changed point size and button to save as Default. When we reopen Word the text is again in the window for R.A. showing as a 12 point, Options shows it as a 10 point and appears to the eye to BE a 10 point when printed. As a test I had user save a new toolbar icon and IT stayed just fine, so SOME changes are being saved in normal.dot. User does not have Adobe 7 writer. Any ideas here? TIA! |

Have you modified the Envelope Return style?

Well, that is what is required. Anything else is doomed to failure.

It would appear you are correct. In addition, I think perhaps we have a
corrupt normal.dot as our change in point size still did not stick. So, we renamed normal.dot and tried again and did get the 8 point to stick. Our purpose in changing to 8 piont is that the user has a 5-line return address. The fifth line stays for a session, but when Word is closed and re-opened, the 5th line has been stripped out. Now that we can change the default, we changed the point size to 4-POINT. The fifth line of the return address is still stripped out when we close Word. I thought we had a size issue with the space allotted for the return addy, but that does not seem to be the case. Is there a 4-line limit to the number of lines allowed in the Return Address? I appreciate your help, Suzanne! "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... Well, that is what is required. Anything else is doomed to failure. -- Suzanne S.

I'm afraid I don't know that as I never create envelopes from the Envelopes
dialog; I have my own custom templates. -- Suzanne S.
