How to stop MSWord formatting notes at the end of each saved document
Somehow all of my word files are now saved with a bunch
offormatting notes at the end of the document. (Example shown below.)I've tried new saves and deleting all of the notes at the end and they always come back. How can I get rid of these. Thanks Normal Normal Default Paragraph Font Default Paragraph Font Body Text Indent Body Text Indent |

Hi Larry,
In File=Open check to see that the file type is set to Word Document rather than 'Recover text...' In Tools=Options=General, turning on [x] confirm conversions at open will flag you if you open a file type other than Word Document ====== "Larry Brickner" wrote in message ...

Bob,
Thank you so much. Don't know how it happened but I've made the change and it now seems to work. There appear to be a few documents that still have the original problem altho most seem to be fine. any suggestions for getting these back to the original "format" (if that's the correct term. Anyway, thanks again. Also, I "x"ed the box to confirm conversions. But what does this mean. I haven't noticed any flaging so far.

Hi Larry,
Depending somewhat on the version of Word it will switch to 'recover text' if the file you're opening appears to be a Word document with some damage and may make that file type 'stick' as the default. The [x] Confirm conversions at options choice doesn't show anything when opening a Word document, but will popup if Word thinks it's seeing a damaged Word document or any non-Word document file type. If the file really is damaged and the only format you get is plain recovered text you may need to copy the contents to a new blank document and apply your formatting. ======= "Larry Brickner" wrote in message ...
