screen tips on toolbars option not staying selected
I have MS office 2003 and Acrobat Standard 6.0.5 on XP-Pro machine.
The problem only occurs in MS Word. Every time I open and use Word, I have to right-click on a toolbar icon, go to "customize" and check both "Show ScreenTips on Tooolbars" and "Show short cut keys in ScreenTips" to get them to display while hovering over a toolbar icon with my mouse pointer. What can I do differently to keep from having to manually make these changes each time that I open and use Word? Shouldn't these options only have to be selected once and MS Word remember my selections even if I close Word? Kindest Regards, -Gump |

By the way, I have also tried the "shift + file | save all" suggestion; this
does not work either... "Gump" wrote: I have MS office 2003 and Acrobat Standard 6.0.5 on XP-Pro machine. The problem only occurs in MS Word.

screen tips on toolbars option not staying selected
okay, so I nuked the Word Data Key; opened Word, customized to "show tool
tips", shut down word, went back in and it still did not work. So, I closed Word again and closed outlook, opened task manager, and ended the "outlook.exe" process; long story short, Tool Tips will now display as long as outlook is running. When I close outlook, tool tips will no longer display - can you help diagnose this weird one ?? - Gump "Suzanne S.

screen tips on toolbars option not staying selected
Hi Gump
Twice recently we've had people in this newsgroup whose settings would not 'stick'. It turned out that both were using CCleaner, which appears to be a nasty piece of software that deletes entries in the registry that it does not like. The most recent message is he http://groups.google.com/group/micro...84cd8b368f9f4c The other two people had circumstances slightly different from yours, but I wonder if it is possible that you are suffering from the same fate? For what it's worth, this time last week I reported the problem to CCleaner, but have had neither an acknowledgement nor a reply. Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly.
