How to stop auto-formatting from changing to default on re-boot?
I keep unchecking the auto formatting options; and the button to Allow
Starting in Reading Layout; and the number under recently used file list. Each time I reboot my settings are changed to default. How can I make my settings permanent? |

How to stop auto-formatting from changing to default on re-boot?
Is this a personal or company machine? If the former then it is probably
that your Word data key in the registry is corrupt. Delete it and Word will create a new one - see http://www.gmayor.com/my_toolbars_are_missing.htm (which shows the location of the data key). I the latter you need to take it up with your IT department. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Troubled479 wrote: I keep unchecking the auto formatting options; and the button to Allow Starting in Reading Layout; and the number under recently used file list.

How to stop auto-formatting from changing to default on re-boo
Graham:
It is my personal computer. I tried the "fix" but when I re-boot the computer it still reverts to the default settings. I re-booted a couple of times just to make sure. Any other suggestions?

How to stop auto-formatting from changing to default on re-boo
You did delete the whole data key and not just the toolbar key?
I can't readily see any mechanism by which registry changes are routinely wiped on a reboot. It would be worth checking out the standard fixes http://www.gmayor.com/what_to_do_when_word_crashes.htm then http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...peningWord.htm . Repair Word and run chkdsk on your hard drive. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Troubled479 wrote: Graham: It is my personal computer.

How to stop auto-formatting from changing to default on re-boo
Hi Troubled, Graham
Another person on this newsgroup reported similar problems earlier this week. He was using something called CCleaner, which is apparently a registry "cleaner" available for free. It was deleting his Word data key, and his settings with it. The post is at: http://groups.google.com/group/micro...7c419a625f848a Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly.

How to stop auto-formatting from changing to default on re-boo
I checke dtheother link and it was RIGHT ON TARGET. CC Cleaner was the
culprit. I like that program so I am going to see how the settingsd might be changed so it does not cause this problem in WORD 2003. Many thanks to you, Graham, for sticking with me! By the way, do you recommend a registry cleaner? I think CC Cleaner is easy to use and safe. Steve "Graham Mayor" wrote: Ah!

How to stop auto-formatting from changing to default on re-boo
Hi Steve
I've never felt a need for a registry cleaner, and the experience you and the other recent poster have with CCleaner doesn't encourage me to try. I will report the problem to www.ccleaner.com.

How to stop auto-formatting from changing to default on re-boo
Generally speaking, if you don't understand the registry and its entries,
you should avoid 'cleaners' like the plague. One that I use occasionally is registry rescue from http://www.pcprivacysoftware.com/ but whether I would recommend it to you is another issue entirely. Clearly CC Cleaner isn't safe as it is stripping Word's registry entries. What else is it removing that you haven't discovered yet? -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Troubled479 wrote: I checke dtheother link and it was RIGHT ON TARGET.
