OK, Paul - no reason to start insulting - if you can't solve the problem, then move over and let someone else take a chance. I think your missing the point altogether.
Let me reiterate - thing have changed here. We have newer computers, a newer operating system and a newer version of Office. I'm trying to find ways to keep the features that we found very useful before, that now appear to be gone. Perhaps someone else out there can help. I use these features every day, so I'm going to persist in finding solutions.

The IT here does not concern himself with these kind of matters - he's trying to keep the entire system running and secure. I am only one small division in a huge Federal Department/Office.
