Quick question about File Properties
The Properties (file-properties) the Title and Author always
gets filled in. How do I make it so that it stays blank unless I fill it in? Sometimes, I even delete the Title, and then when I save the document, I notice the next time I open it, it took the first line of my file as the title again. I want it to remain blank by default. Oh, and another question...sometimes I copy and paste text off a website (If I find an interesting quote or something). I usually put it in a word doc, I like to use Times New Roman, but when I do a ctrl-v, it usually comes in as a different text, and the formatting is all different. How can I make it come in and adhere to the format I set for the document? Thanks |

One post is sufficient.
In the future, please only ask one question (or related questions) in a single post. I don't have an answer to your question about document properties. I do have an answer to your question about pasting. Because you've put two unrelated questions together, someone seeing that I have answered may skip reading your question and go on to unanswered questions. Edit Paste Special Unformatted text Paste brings in formatting (styles) from web pages unless you tell it not to do so. As you've seen, this can have unexpected results. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

The Properties picks up this information from Tools, Options, User tab. If
you clear these, it will clear the Properties form. However, that may result in other knock on effects such as in Track Changes, Username fields, etc. -- Terry Farrell - Word MVP http://word.mvps.org/ wrote in message oups.com... : The Properties (file-properties) the Title and Author always : gets filled in. : : How do I make it so that it stays blank unless I fill it in? : : Sometimes, I even delete the Title, and then when I save the document, : I notice the next time I open it, it took the first line of my file as : the title again. : : I want it to remain blank by default. : : Oh, and another question...sometimes I copy and paste text off a : website (If I find an interesting quote or something). : I usually put it in a word doc, I like to use Times New Roman, but when : I do a ctrl-v, it usually comes in as a different text, and the : formatting is all different. : : How can I make it come in and adhere to the format I set for the : document? : : Thanks : |

For the title, it gets it from the first line of the file. For example if my document is: "Hi Tom, blah blah blah" When I save the file, the title will be "Hi Tom" It automatically pulled it from the first line. I want to stop this from happening. Thanks |

If your template includes text in the Title field, it will substitute that.
You might try putting a single space there. -- Suzanne S.
