MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / March 2006Permanently enable "view hidden text"
I would like to always see all hidden text in any documents I open. How? I am using Word 2002. Currently I have to click Tools / Options / View / Hidden text all the time. If the option doesn't stick, you may have to delete the Data key in the registry.

Is there any workaround? Is registry the problem? Well, deleting the Data key might fix the problem, as stated in the article. Another possibility is that a log-in script deletes the Data key on each log-in (which restores a lot of settings to their factory defaults) or that an add-in has code in it to set options when Word starts. You'll have to ask the administrator about this. SignatureStefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP > I am using my work computer, with no administrator access... I can't > edit Windows 2000 registry.

A less drastic course would be to add the line ActiveWindow.View.ShowHiddenText = True to an autoopen macro in normal.dot http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm Signature<>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> > Well, deleting the Data key might fix the problem, as stated in the > article.
