We have Lexmark 644

Thanks for replying. And no, the user just sends it to print and on the NT operating system, the tray was automatically selected – i.e. 1st page from tray 1, the subsequent pages from tray 2 which is legal paper. We can go in and change the tray but the users in the real estate department don’t want to have to do that especially when they are dealing with so many faxes in closings, on a daily basis. I was thinking it was a Lexmark issue but this afternoon found out this occurs now on the HPs as well since we switched our O.S.

In 2000 it’s Under Tools|Options|Mail Format Tab – see Signature section at the bottom and remove the checkmark from “Don’t use when replying or forwarding”. Don’t have 2003 on my office pc but probably in that general area

Do you mean that you want to use a normal.dot based on Word 2000 in 2003? OR just copy over the auto text entries, etc. Reason I am asking is that it has always been my belief that you can copy over autotext, etc. but should not use a normal.dot based on a previous version of Word on a higher version of Word . i.e. we took an out-of-the-box 2003 normal and modified it to our firm’s preferences so that any new documents created had the compatibility of 2003 and not 2000. If anyone out there has any comments to offer it would be greatly appreciated. TIA,

Hi there. I had items greyed out under certain menu items and doing a regedit and deleting the data key restored the full menu items. See post 197827.

Thanks. I never thought about the page #s changing. Haven’t used PAGEREF field but I’ll try that out if/when the main body of the document changes. And I expect it will …

GENIUS!! I got the #3 but I get the idea … just have to account for title page, contents pages and I’m there. THANKS A MINT!

Thanks, jscher. I should have been clearer. It’s like this: the document is about 80 pages. The header needs to be number 1 through 80 consecutively. However at page 65 – that’s page 1 of Schedule A – the user wants the header to read “65” but the footer to read A-1. TIA for any suggestion – including one for the lawyer who told me “That’s ridiculous. WordPerfect could do it and smarta*s Gates’ product should be able to do it too!”

Hi there, I’ve seen this with many users. There’s just too much text in one cell so although you may see it in print preview, it will never print and just sort of ‘goes into oblivion’. I took your document and inserted a couple more rows, moved text into those rows and it all prints. I used to have a reference that indicated just how much you could have in one row/cell but it went walkabout when my previous pc passed on… Hope this helps.

Thanks for news John! Saints Preserve Us! Is anyone at Microsoft listening? I keep hoping that these omissions will be addressed each time there’s an update. Okay. Repeat after me, No, Virigina, there is no Microsoft Claus.

I’m ‘piggybacking’ on this old post to ask if anyone knows if this rather large omission has been fixed by Microsoft in OL 2003. Anyone using 2003 that might know the answer? TIA, P.

Thanks Viking! Did that and feel better about my pcs safety now.

Oh my, thanks Charlotte! I did upgrade Norton AV to 2005 and it usually resides in the status bar – I don’t see it there these days but assume it’s working in the background since the undeliverable messages are shunted to my Norton Spam Folder and from time to time the Norton Security Messages popup so it’s there – just not visible. I bypassed Outlook and logged into my account Rogers.com to set the spam to go directly to deleted since Outlook did not obey my Rules … presumably overwritten by Norton. I am now going to do a complete scan on my harddrive. I must figure out how to have Norton AV constantly ‘on-deck’ as it was previous to my 2005 update when I switched to Rogers cable. I’ll report back!

So setting the Outlook rule didn’t work: went to my cable account e-mail provider on-line and set the rule for all messages sent to Bulk Items folder be deleted. I’ll deal with legit messages being deleted as they arise. Much easier than what I’m dealing with now – as I type this upwards of 500+ messages which are Undeliverable: all to same address, all with same content. Ugh.

Thanks HansV. I did do that but the messages go into my Norton Anti-Spam Folder, then I empty it every 15 minutes or so. I’m guessing that when someone forwarded e-mail they didn’t delete the e-mail addresses OR it was ‘glommed’ off a site or something. I HATE spammers!
