If you click Tools, Options the View tab: is the option for “Field Codes” checked? If so, uncheck it.

Actually I’ve never used Autonumbering for this but Seq fields instead. I think if you do it that way, you won’t run into the snag that you have.

Try this:
1. Type SPECIAL INTERROGATORY NO. followed by a space
2. Press CTRL + F9 to insert field characters
3. Type SEQ Rog within the field characters
4. Press F9 to update the field and a number1 should appear.
5. Select SPECIAL INTERROGATORY NO. 1 and press ALT + F3 to create an Autotext entry. Name it something like rog.
6. When you want to use them, type rog and press F3.

Note: you can set up your answers to your interrogatories the same way, you would just replace Seq Rog with Seq Ans (step 3) and name your Autotext something like ans (step 5)

I agree with Hans. I think what you’re looking to use is the Help text that you can add to form fields not comments.

This is a known glitch with balloons and comments in Word 2002. In Word 2002 if you:
1. Turn on the Reviewing toolbar
2. Click the Show button then Options
3. Check the box to use Balloons in Web and Print Layout View
3. Reduce the preferred width to 0
4. Turn off the Balloons

Does that eliminate your wide right margin?

We do this at the firm I work at – and it’s pretty simple. As Alan says you’ll need a scanned image of the signature, then we insert it in a document, create it as an AutoText entry and then copy it into that secretaries Normal.dot.

If you have a blank paragraph mark between paragraphs you can use the right and or left indent markers to control the length of the line.

For example, if you have the word Heading and a blank paragraph mark above it, while on that blank paragraph mark, click Format, Borders and Shading, attach a bottom border to the blank paragraph and click OK. Now use your left and or right indent markers to adjust the width of the line.

Make sense? Definitely not the most elegant solution, like those mentioned above, but an old trick from prior versions.

Thanks for the response and confirmation that this behavior is by design. To a degree I also agree that it “seems” logical but in the same breath find it somewhat concerning that Microsoft allows it to actually happen. I can’t forward or create an EMAIL message “on behalf of” that person without proper delegate/permission rights but I can certainly forward a meeting invite “on behalf of ” that person???? That’s nuts – what makes an email message different from a meeting invite??? I think what’s really disturbing us is the fact that she became the Organizer (not a delegate as you indicate – maybe you mean the same thing) to the forwarded meeting and we can’t reproduce that end of the equation. If my coworker forwards a meeting invite to another coworker the original organizer doesn’t change nor do we see “on behalf of” in the header of the From field. The reality is forward is essentially creating a new invitation to which you now become the chari/organizer of, is that it?

Can you try this? From the reviewing toolbar, click Show, Options, turn on balloons and set the margin to 0 then turn balloons off. Does this help?

Hi JohnBF

We tried the table view….no luck.

#2 is something that interests us. We really feel that’s where the problem lies since everytime we do all the things mentioned in my earlier post, they appear to work until we close Outlook and reopen. Do you happen to know if the reminders are stored in a file? What file is it? Where is it located, in a .pst or someplace else??

Thanks for the suggestion….I’ll let you know if it works.
