This could be one of many items… read this MS KB Article and try to start Word following the proposed items… http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?…kb;en-us;211793%5B/url%5D… I’m thinking that your Normal.dot is corrupt; however, if there is any customization (toolbars, autotext, macros) this will be lost by deleting… ensure to rename the old normal and you may be able to recover…

When I initially tested this, I placed the field under the Subject field… when doing this, the message body resized and moved to the right to allow for the Categories field. I then resized the message body area under… everything worked fine. After your reply, I tested placing the Categories field at the bottom of the message body and still everything worked fine… I am unsure of why items are ‘inaccessible’. As for your last statement, I interpret that you are trying to embed a field inside of a field? If so, this is not possible. Could you attach the form so that I can take a look at it? Open the form and do a Save as (*.oft), attach this file… thanx… trish

And to be friends as well, good network we have going here!!! I remember that it did appear that a password was there in Tools, Options, Save (with asterisks) when you set it thru the Save Dialog… but did not work. Have you tried deleting the current password out thru Tools, Options, Save – OK the Options dialog and then creating a new one the same way? and does it work? Get Nancy Dancy to create a dummy doc and place a password thru the Save dialog and see what happens. Possibly need to have Word 97 to recreate the actual bug. I’m thinking most likely that the original user probably set it thru the Save dialog. I’m in XP so I can’t test… we should do lunch, I’ll call! later gater… trish

You can add Categories by clicking on the Options button when in a new Mail Message (on the Standard toolbar OR View, Options on the Menu).

If you wish to create a form which will include the Categories, open up a new message form, select Tools, Forms, Design this Form and the Field Chooser control box should appear, click and drag the Categories field from the list and onto the desired area of your message. You must now Publish the Form, click on Tools, Forms, Publish Forms, it should default to your Personal Forms Library, give it a name. When you wish to use this form, click on New, Choose Form, and select the Personal Forms Library and the defined name. Unfortunately, you cannot write over the default forms which Outlook supplies to you (Message – Under Standard Forms Library). If you wish to add an icon to this form, you will need to write VBA code here… http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?…kb;en-us;290803%5B/url%5D

Hi Anne… apparently, Microsoft designed the Reminder to be inactive to default… I’ve attached the Knowledge Base Article relating to this issue http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?…kb;en-us;289970%5B/url%5D. Hope this helps… trish

Hi there Judy… long time no talk… I’m not sure if this will help, but I remember a long time ago (could be version 97) you needed to set the password in Tools, Options, Save and not in the Save dialog box (under Tools, ?Options, ?Save Options). If you set it in the dialog box it may/may not retain the password. It was flaky. I’m thinking that 2000 may have inherited this. Since you are using DMS, isn’t it safer to apply your security within the DMS (I am not knowledgeable in iManage, but PowerDocs)… let me know how it goes… thanx… trish

Try all of these:
– First turn off the option Person Names (English) in the Smart Tag Options (Tools, Autocorrect Options, Smart Tags tab). You will need to turn on the Label Text with Smart Tags options again.
– Click on the Recheck Document button.
– Next turn off the Label Text with Smart Tags and Show Smart Tags Action options and click on the Remove Smart Tags button.
– The final step is to go to Tools, Options, and Save tab and turn off the option Embed Smart Tags.

If this does not help, is it possible for you to attach? Good luck… trish

Thanx for your input Stuart!!! … I think I mentioned this in the next paragraph after the one which you selected. Glad to see you’re keeping me on my toes… trish

Are you still having this problem? Is it possible to attach the culprit document… I tested and cannot recreate your problem… thanx… trish

Hi Andrew… I can help you with the last subject ‘runaway’ styles. As Pam (Word Witch) mentioned… Word now keeps track of direct formatting applied to a style… ‘runaway’ styles! I liked the old way of finding direct formatting (Shift+F1 – What’s This – NOW – Reveal Formatting in the Task Pane – make sure to turn on the option (at bottom of window) – Distinguish Style Source.
You may also notice that you can no longer update the style using the Style Box (making a change, clicking on the style in the Style Box – Formatting toolbar) and receiving the Modify Style dialog.

Now, back to the runaway styles… to turn this feature off and turn back on the ability to update styles using the Style Box…

Tools, Options, Edit tab – Turn OFF (uncheck) Keep track of formatting (runaway styles) and Turn ON (check) Prompt to update style.

Hope this helps! trish

Thanx for getting back to me Kim… Hans figured it out for me this morning. It is posted here post 256901
I have also included his note to me here in case anyone is interested. Sorry about the confusion in my note, I meant to say that since a user may select more than one ‘scheme’ I needed code to check for BodyText first instead of failing when another scheme could be selected. Hans’ code below did the trick to add another error handler! Thanx again for replying Kim… have a great day…

You could insert code after resetting the listgalleries:

‘ Check for style named “BodyText”
‘ If not there, create it

Dim StyleBodyText As Style
On Error Resume Next
Set StyleBodyText = ActiveDocument.Styles(“BodyText”)
If Err 0 Then
Err.Clear
Set StyleBodyText = ActiveDocument.Styles.Add(“BodyText”)
With StyleBodyText
‘ Set style properties here, for example:
.Font.Name = “Arial”
End With
End If

Regards,
Hans

Further to the company attaching Personal.dot for the user’s private customizations… this does not allow them to use/create styles, seemlessly anyway… an individual needs to ensure that they copy the styles to the Personal.dot after creating and when they need them, copy them back into their current document… it’s a real pain – AND everything you do in Word IS A STYLE… it’s a real shame that this base functionality is literally taken away from the user (or difficult to accomplish). Good luck with the support.dot

As per John’s suggestion, you can also change the font for two different areas. Go to the same dialog which John specifies, in the Format tab. If you don’t want your name at the top to be as large, click on the Title… Font… button and change it to be smaller, without bolding? The Field… Font… applies to the header of the e-mail (To, From, Date, and Subject). You can change this area to be larger with bolding? Hope this helps as well!

Have I told you lately that I LOVE YOU??? Big hugs and kisses… you should write a book! Thanx Hans… trish

When printing from a program, click on the Properties button… in this dialog, select the Page Setup tab and select either Short Side or Long Side. Select the Paper tab, click More Options… and select either Flip on long edge or Flip on short edge. Test different settings (i.e., Short Side and Flip on short edge), etc. to see which one will print the document correctly – obviously the default selection does not work.
