Default Question on Match Destination Formating

I am a very experienced user of WORD 2003, with questions:

1) Formerly, Print Lay displayed the top and bottom footers in an uneditable
way. Now, they do not show, except when I edit them. This change seems to
have occured after an Office Update. Is there a way to keep these displayed
while in print layout?

2) When you copy and paste, you get the option of
Keep Source Formating (which is the default)
Match Destination Formating
....

I am always changing it to Match Desitnation Formating, so I would like to
make that the default. Is there any way to do it?

3) I have a 5 line standard text that I insert often into different docs. I
have tried AutoCorrect and AutoText, but found these 2 problems: 1) I
would like the text to be inserted in Matching Destination Formating, it is
not and 2) many times the text becomes Underlined Plain Text with a verticle
bar down the left hand side, and I have to redo the autoCorrect or AutoText
enter for it to look correct.

Thanks!

Bob

In Tools Options View, check the option "White space between pages". If
you put the cursor in the space between pages (or above the top of the first
page), the cursor changes to a pair of boxes, and clicking there is
equivalent to toggling the option setting.

Keep Source Formating (which is the default)

Add this macro to the template for your documents (or to Normal.dot or
another global document):

Sub EditPaste()
Selection.PasteAndFormat _
(wdFormatSurroundingFormattingWithEmphasis)
End Sub

3) I have a 5 line standard text that I insert often into different
docs. I have tried AutoCorrect and AutoText, but found these 2
problems: 1) I would like the text to be inserted in Matching

When you create an AutoCorrect entry, be sure to select the option button
for "Plain text" instead of "Formatted text" in the dialog.

and 2) many times the text becomes
Underlined Plain Text with a verticle bar down the left hand side,
and I have to redo the autoCorrect or AutoText enter for it to look
correct.


The underlining and the vertical bar mean you have Track Changes turned on.
Turn it off, and use the Reviewing toolbar to accept all changes. Then leave
Track Changes turned off!
