Thanx, Belix, for seeing what I've been seeing.



Microsoft apparently targets its products to idiots, and if it senses any deviation from what it's programmed to understand, immediately changes what the operator wants to what it thinks the operator should want!

Do you know of anyone really using the new .docx format? But at times, we're forced to use it, and clients can't open our files!

I lost an entire department at a major communications firm because of the fights started between writers and an editor by this idiotic approach (in this case, word was changing languages every time it encountered a foreign name, making spell check impossible). At that time, I was able to finally fix it with WP51, but now that's even out of the question.

I just turned in my assignment (I let the client format it!), so I'm going to try the fix that was suggested. I'll update if it works!

Happy holidays!

For idiots, perhaps, but you need to be a wizard to find out how to adjust the settings, or heaven forbid, turn them off. Numbered lists you never asked for, paragraph format carried over, or pasted in, indenting you don't want, styles you can't understand, it goes on. I suspect it is all to show just how much Microsoft does for you.

And despite all of this, there is no way to store clipboard contents for future use!

"And despite all of this, there is no way to store clipboard contents for future use!"

I do this by making new docs in that particular directory titled "Notes-XXXXDate.doc" "Notes-EptifAEs121610" Then just dump the clipboard there for future use as many times as you fill it.
