Posted By: MaaMaw In Response To: What kind of formatting does it revert to? (Tonya)
Friday, 19 May 2006, at 11:41 a.m.
Nothing in particular -- not like it's trying to maintain a particular outline format or anything.
One chapter will start 2" down and it will not let me change it up to 1-1/2" to save my life. The next one will start all by itself at 1-1/2", and the next and the next -- but the next will start at 1-1/4". The ones that start too high will let me space them down (although not without some incredible gyrations like typing in three periods, changing the font size to something very tiny, using ENTER to get it where I want it, then deleting the periods and holding the font size) (or in one particularly fun case, going through all that and finding it wouldn't hold the font size so finally keeping the periods in but making them white so they won't show) --
Where was I?
Oh yes...
And the ones that start too low won't let me move them up.
And subsequent pages in chapters -- some start at the 1" margin, and some start at 1-1/4 or 1-1/2. I manually lower the 1" to the 1-1/4", and they go, it rests about half a second, and they pop right back where they came from. And the ones that are too low won't budge. And there is nothing on the previous page causing them to be there -- like extra enters, etc.
This has happened on countless documents -- not just this one -- so I just dump it into WordPerfect and my problems are solved.&nbps; But this one has some tables and things that don't want to convert.
I can cut and paste, but I really need to get this ironed out for the future.
> and where in Word have you disabled the auto formatting options?
Auto-Correct, Auto-Format-As-You-Type, Auto-Text, and Auto-Format -- all under TOOLS, AUTO-CORRECT.
And in those options, I have told it to ignore styles besides unchecking everything else.
What I want to do is turn EVERY SINGLE automatic function off.
I don't want it to do anything except what I tell it to do (er I'm gonna break somethin' very expensive).
Thank you!!
Luv,
MaaMaw
P.S. If I weren't so compulsive, I could ignore pages that are 1/4" off here and there, but I am and I can't (and WordPerfect doesn't make me) (SNORT!).

| PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures.

In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
