Using Word from Office 2003 with Windows XP Pro, I am having the following
difficulties:

1) Toolbar settings are not persistent. That is, every time I open a
document I need to add the web navigation toolbar. When I save the document
and reopen it later, the web navigation tools are not visiblke.

2) Every document opens showing markup from changes. This is another setting
that is not persistent.

Does anyone have a fix/workaround for these irritating problems?

Thanks,

Keith
 
Hi Keith,
Using Word from Office 2003 with Windows XP Pro, I am having the following

Click to expand...
This one is truly a matter of taste :-)
2) Every document opens showing markup from changes. This is another setting
that is not persistent.
Click to expand...
And this one is a result of too many documents getting sent out-of-house with
confidential information hidden in them.

For both cases, I think you're going to need an AutoOpen macro in your
Normal.dot template that makes sure these are displayed. Something like:

Sub AutoOpen()
CommandBars("Web").Visible = True
With ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.View
.ShowComments = False
.ShowInsertionsAndDeletions = False
.ShowFormatChanges = False
.ShowRevisionsAndComments = False
End With
End Sub
