Word 2003 won't remember return address
Every few days I lose the default return address for my envelopes. I retype
it and say Yes when Word asks if I want to save it as the default return address. But, a few days later, it is blank again. Why will Word not remember this setting? Office 2003 on WinXP Pro |

Word 2003 won't remember return address
Try Options = User Settings and put it there. Otherwise, I have several
return addresses depending on the reason I'm writing. I never use the return address setting in the envelopes but instead use an AutoText entry named EnvelopeExtra1. This lets me put the return address in a text box, have the lines centered as to each other, and have a bold main line in a larger font size. This last thing can't be done with the built-in return address function. See Graham Mayor's site for details on that. http://www.gmayor.com/changing_envelope_layout.htm The AutoText entry has to be stored in a global template or in the document template that you are using. (Storing it in the document template is what lets me use different return addresses for different tasks.) Otherwise, you may have a corrupt data key in your registry. http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/MissngMenusEtc.htm -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
