I had Woody's "Underground Guide For Word for Windows", the Word6.0 book, and a later one by Woody, until I had to downsize on retirement 2011.

My experience is that most bugs/issues I found in Word97 and find in Word2003 continue in later versions to this day. That is why I had hoped someone might be aware of this Tools Options setting failing to remain in place.

Cheers, Chris
Chris, I probably learned the "record a macro to preserve option settings" from Word 97 Annoyances.

Word 2003 fixed many of the bugs in Word 97 as well as a few of the annoyances. The .doc format is prone to more problems than the .docx format as well as taking up more disk space.
