FACEID template no longer works now that I'm in Windows 2000 ...
Don't know if this is a Windows 2000 or a Word question, so pls advise
if I'm in the wrong ng. A few years back I dl the FACEID document from this webpage, http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...ttonImages.htm, or one similar. Since I dl, it worked fine all the time in Win98SE. In my new installation of Windows 2000, it doesn't work properly. I get a blank document labelled template1 but nothing shows up. If I change docts via the Window pulldown, it flickers on for a moment but then again disappears. At first I had thought it might be the macro security and so changed that to medium, but problem persists. Does anyone know where I can look for a solution to this problem? Again, if there is a better ng, pls advise. Thanks. D |

IIRC, the template contains a macro (which must be enabled) that you have to
run to produce the button image table. -- Suzanne S.

I use these FACEID panes quite a bit. I went hunting for other files in both Word and Excel but none are as good as this one as it presents all the icons in only 4 panes! Thanks.

FACEID template no longer works now that I'm in Windows 2000 ...
It's been so long since I did this that perhaps I'm thinking of something
different, but when I did it, the macro created a table that could be saved as a document. IOW, it was not necessary to run the macro more than once. -- Suzanne S.

FACEID template no longer works now that I'm in Windows 2000 ...
I think I probably haven't done it in Windows 2000 because I just copied the
file I had from an earlier version. I suspect that if I ran the macro now (if it worked), I'd get a lot more button faces than my current table includes, which would probably be worthwhile. -- Suzanne S.
