Index entries keep coming back
In a nutshell, here's the issue:
Whenever I open a doc in Word 2003, I see index entries, whether or not I've got Show/Hide on Show. To get rid of the entries, I have to go into ToolsOptionsView and deselect "Hidden text". However, the codes come back every time I open the doc again, and I have to go through the same annoying deselection process. Does anyone know what's going on and how it might be fixed (without reinstalling)? Thanks . . . MM |

Word 2003 has a bad habit of forgetting some user settings. You can force
them with auto macros. In this case I would simply add a toolbar button to call the following macro, which will toggle the setting: Sub ShowHidden() With ActiveWindow.View .ShowHiddenText = Not .ShowHiddenText .ShowAll = False End With End Sub or for the automatic option - Sub AutoOpen() With ActiveWindow.View .ShowHiddenText = False .ShowAll = False End With End Sub See http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org MM wrote: In a nutshell, here's the issue: Whenever I open a doc in Word 2003, I see index entries, whether or not I've got Show/Hide on Show.

Nice little hacks there, Graham - thanks for these. If other suggestions
fail, it may come to these . . . "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ... Word 2003 has a bad habit of forgetting some user settings. You can force them with auto macros.

I really - really - hope you're right. I'm enjoying the Canada Day holiday
today, but when I get back to work tomorrow, I'll have a look at that setting. Thanks for the input. "Robert M. Franz" wrote in message ...
