Automatic Formatting in Word/Office XP
I use automatic formatting in my documents; it makes my job easier to do.
However, a certain member in upper management has repeatedly expressed that he does not want any automatic formatting in any documents. This includes something as simple as adding automatic paragraph indents. (All our documents are saved to a central server. The idea is that anyone in the office can access these documents and edit/modify them as needed.) As many of our documents often involve numbered lists, I would like to continue to use automatic formatting. I am the only one in the office who uses it, and talking with other people in the office lets me know that they too do not approve of automatic formatting in documents. What I would like to know is whether there is a way to €śturn on€ť automatic formatting as Im using and working on a document and then €śturn off€ť that automatic formatting once its saved to the central server. That way I can work with the document as I need to, and then leave it so that others can do what they need to. |

Automatic Formatting in Word/Office XP
Hi ?B?U2lubmE=?=,
you first need to tell us exactly what you mean by "automatic formatting", and what aspects of it others object to. Do they not want any formatting in a document - just plain text? Do they object to formatting being done by styles? I use automatic formatting in my documents; it makes my job easier to do. However, a certain member in upper management has repeatedly expressed that he does not want any automatic formatting in any documents. This includes something as simple as adding automatic paragraph indents. (All our documents are saved to a central server.
