AutoFormat/AutoCorrect Settings Change
Perhaps I simply do not understand how it's sposed to work - I open a Word
2003 docu, then Format - AutoFormat. AutoFormat is set to replace ordinals with superscript and AutoCorrect is set to capitalize the first letter of sentences. I deselect both, create my docu and close Word. The next time I open Word - without a system shut down - the settings have reverted to the default settings and must be deselected again. From this forum I found "My menus and toolbars are missing and won't come back€¯ at http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErr...ngMenusEtc.htm. I have tried "Using the /a switch" and "Deleting and recreating the corrupt registry values." "Using the /a switch" didn't produce noticeable results. "Deleting and recreating the corrupt registry values" holds my deselection selections as long as I don't do a restart or shut down, no matter how many times I open or close Word. If I do a restart or shutdown, my deselection selections revert to the default settings and "Deleting and recreating the corrupt registry values" and the desired selections must be deselected again. So far these settings are the only ones I've noticed not staying where I put them. I have tried closing Word and doing "Deleting and recreating the corrupt registry values." I have tried opening Word, making my deselections then with word open doing "Deleting and recreating the corrupt registry values." I have tried opening Word, making my deselections, closing Word then doing "Deleting and recreating the corrupt registry values." None worked like I think I understand how it's sposed to work. Is this the way changing the settings in AutoFormat and AutoCorrect is sposed to work? Am I changing the settings in the correct place? What am I doing wrong? All ideas, suggestions, and comments will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, K. |

AutoFormat/AutoCorrect Settings Change
Thanks, I really appreciate your help. But I must admit I am not very
compuliterate - What does "login script" mean? I suspect my unit is set for all users. I dont have to log in. When I turn my unit on, the Welcome screen is void of all those login icons, it passes that screen and goes directly to desktop. When I purchased this unit a year or so ago, I explnd to the store that we all use our own units and asked them to see if they could bypass all that signin/login stuff the others must go thru at startup. This AutoFormat/AutoCorrect situ may have been there from the start but it seemed to operate properly at first. It wasn't noticed until after a couple of months of usage. Is this information pertinent to your answer? Thanks, K.

AutoFormat/AutoCorrect Settings Change
No network security? No individual user settings? Are you sharing Word? If
you are no doubt you are sharing normal.dot? I am not surprised it doesn't work. How long before someone out there on the internet taps into your system, which is presumably connected to the big bad world? If you want to ensure that your settings (which are an individual user setting in the registry) are created for each document, then you are going to have to set them by using auto macros in the (please not shared) normal.dot template. You can record the settings in a macro and save the required code in both an autoopen and an autonew macro - see http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm , but I would strongly recommend that you look at your network security and your user settings. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org K wrote: Thanks, I really appreciate your help.
