MS Office Forum / Word / Long Documents / February 2005Plain text formatting entire document
I am at a new firm and things are done a bit differently. Novell/Win XP clients/ Office 2003. I have a user who scans a document, cuts the text out, then uses Paste Special to paste as Plain Text into a fresh doc. When she tries to say Bold, or Center just a single line, the ENTIRE document becomes bold or centered or whatever. If she selects two or more lines, it does not happen. I have cleaned out the keyboard, and looked for every switch imaginable. Has anyone seen this and what is the fix? Do we need to reinstall Word?

Are you really sure it's not checked in some of her document(s) or template(s)? And it applies to Word2003 docs just as well as Word2002.

I have gone through and found EVERY copy of Normal.dot possible and made sure that ther eis NO check in the box for "Update Automatically" for the Normal Style. However, whether the user opens a new blank doc from MailSite or just directly from Word directly, the dang thing STILL turns it back on for a new blank doc!! I have saved over the template, I have used "File>Page Setup> DEfault" to modify the template...NOTHING IS WORKING. Where is the copy of Normal.dot that the winword.exe accesses when it starts up? I thought I found every copy when I did search, but some how, I must be missing one. Grrrrr. > No, don't post a screen shot, but I would be interested in seeing a small > sample.
