normal.dot problem?
Hi there,
I'm running Office Pro 2003 and a couple of days ago some "brackets" (greyed out, look like they belong to headers/footers) started appearing in all 4 corners of my Word documents in print layout and print preview (only). I've tried all the options of turning things off/on in the tools-options-view menu, as well as just about everywhere else. I took my computer by the school's helpdesk and they said the brackets were called placeholders, and that it was a normal.dot problem, but weren't able to fix it. I have tried running the support utility (/a startup) and going through each of the options, as well as renaming the template personally and trying to get Word to recreate a fresh template. Nothing has worked. It's not huge deal, but it is rather annoying and distracting. Any suggestions? Thank you very much. |

marks appear on each corner of the page when you open a document in Word 2002 or in Word 2003". kbj11 wrote: Hi there, I'm running Office Pro 2003 and a couple of days ago some "brackets" (greyed out, look like they belong to headers/footers) started appearing in all 4 corners of my Word documents in print layout and print preview (only).

Thank you very much! I'll have to take your word for the fix as I need to
keep the chinese language pack installed for the time being, but at least I know what the problem is now.
