So, patience should clear it up? Usually within a few minutes it allows dragging and dropping again. However, I have a loarge cache of emails and could the numbers of emails be the problem?

I keep about six months worth of journal information — Word and Email only. Archive the rest. Is there another way to keep time records on Outlook without buying a time keeping software?

I’ll check tonight on the HP but I think the spell check works fine on the HP on documents originating there. It is only on the switches that the problem develops.

Ricky, I tried to do this — paste an acrobat chunk of a document (a table) into a word 2k text box — and either I am not doing it right or the idea doesn’t work. For us Word 2k for Dummies folk, you walk us through this a bit more?

I figured it out. Thanks for the tip.

Stuart, here is the macro language. Can you suggest the right changes:

ChangeFileOpenDirectory “C:WINDOWSApplication DataMicrosoftTemplates”
Selection.InsertFile FileName:=”2ndPageLtrhead1.dot”, Range:=””, _
ConfirmConversions:=True, Link:=False, Attachment:=False
Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory
With ActiveDocument.PageSetup
.LineNumbering.Active = False
.Orientation = wdOrientPortrait
.TopMargin = InchesToPoints(1)
.BottomMargin = InchesToPoints(1)
.LeftMargin = InchesToPoints(1.25)
.RightMargin = InchesToPoints(1.25)
.Gutter = InchesToPoints(0)
.HeaderDistance = InchesToPoints(0.5)
.FooterDistance = InchesToPoints(0.5)
.PageWidth = InchesToPoints(8.5)
.PageHeight = InchesToPoints(11)
.FirstPageTray = wdPrinterLowerBin
.OtherPagesTray = wdPrinterDefaultBin
.SectionStart = wdSectionNewPage
.OddAndEvenPagesHeaderFooter = False
.DifferentFirstPageHeaderFooter = True
.VerticalAlignment = wdAlignVerticalTop
.SuppressEndnotes = False
.MirrorMargins = False
.TwoPagesOnOne = False
.GutterPos = wdGutterPosLeft
End With
Selection.MoveDown Unit:=wdLine, Count:=8
Selection.MoveDown Unit:=wdParagraph, Count:=2, Extend:=wdExtend
Selection.Delete Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1
Selection.TypeParagraph
Selection.MoveUp Unit:=wdLine, Count:=1
Selection.InsertDateTime DateTimeFormat:=”MMMM d, yyyy”, InsertAsField:= _
False, DateLanguage:=wdEnglishUS, CalendarType:=wdCalendarWestern, _
InsertAsFullWidth:=False
Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=3

I understand the concept of deleting the ^d listings in the footnotes. The problem is that it comes only after the footnote listing has been listed, page number, in the index. For example, if I index “Jones” on page 6 but “Jones” appears in the footnote on page 7, the index will show, Jones, 6,7,. Can you delete the Jones from the footnotes THEN rerun the index to correct for the page number?

Okay, I now know how to make a template with the right ability to make a second page have a different header and footer. New Problem: I save this as a template (*.dot) file. My macro loads this template file and I try to “save as” to a *.doc name so I can preserve the original *.dot file yet create an amendable file that can be save in Word *.doc format. The template won’t “save as” in that way. And it won’t allow a manual save to a new “doc” name. What am I missing in your instructions or that I can’t see on the Help menu?

The box check worked fine. Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have my INBOX and Contacts lists in the order thqt I want to see them. The problem is the Calendar and Tasks I would like to have close together in the Outlook listing. However, Calendar is at the top, and Tasks are at the bottom. Checking some “to-do” on calendar requires doing search on TAsks. Having a bunch of folders in between is a pain. I can close the contacts and inbox files down by clicking the “-” to “+” but that is also a pain. Is there a way to move Tasks up with Calendar?

I’ve not heard from anyone who indicates what the error message means.

The error message was:
Run Time Error ‘4608’
Value out of range

Worked like a charm. Thanks.

Oh. I see. A simple solution. I’m not used to those.

Followup: I added an entry in the autocorrect and determined which file is “active”. There are six files. Three of them are, respectively, Mso.acl, mso.acl, and mso.acl, and appear in three separate folders under Program Files/Microsoft Office/Office 1033, 1036 and 1034. Any idea what these are for? The date on them is 1998.

Using *.acl, I can get a list of the autocorrect files on the “C” drive. There are six. How do you determine which one is the “real” .acl file?
