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.

These settings are saved in the Registry; try nuking the Word Data key as

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.

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.
