I get an occasional unexpected 'MS Word has to close' phenomenon leading to a 'Read Only' message on re initialisating the application (because 'the file is already being used by another user' - ie. me!). Can I get out of this without rebooting, or must I inevitably reboot, and content myself with sending an arsenic impregnated letter to the high eschelons of MicroSoft?

Thanks IcemanND I employed your suggestion and the problem has gone. May you have a long happy life and many children. JSW

Anyone know how to stop MS Word formatting a document in work. I type: 0751 blah blah blah (then tab to the next line to make a simiilar entry) (but it tabs me over so that I get) . . . . 0855 blah blah blah (so I end up with) 0751 blah blah blah . . . . 0855 blah blah blah (when I want to see) 0751 blah blah blah 0855 blah blah blah I have bullets and numbering set to none, none, none, tabs set to 'clear all', yet I assume here is the seat of the NAZI MS takeover. Basically, I want to do what I want to do and must somehow overcome big bloody brother MS to do so. What d'you think, a few keystrokes to fix the problem, or a computer hurled from the twelvth floor - followed by an exasperated computer operator? As the Fuhrer himself once commented - 'my patience is almost exhausted'. Thanks JSW

Hello AT Why not try WordWeb - free download from the net - a very functional and comprehensive source. I don't know if there's anything better - if there is I'd like to know about it. JSW

I come to place of huge wobbling brains because Word problem denies sleep. My problem stated simply is my MS Word (latest edition) lie to me. I place border around page text on page - (format+borders and shading+page border), border look complete - perfect - but when view in Print Preview, now see sides and top of border line clearly, but border line at bottom curiously absent. The border is incomplete. If bad earthquake words could fall out bottom of page. Very queer. But find lots of queers in Microsoft. I do deletedeletedeletedeletedeletedeletedeletedeletedeletedeletedeletedeletedeletedeletedeletedelete after last word of text on page to clear matter of invisible alien nature. I try 'footer' or 'no footer' but no matter, problem still in evidence. Also, the page is unnumbered and no number supression is in effect. I shoot my brain for great psychological discomfort this egregious fault create. I go to other word where no Microsoft. Who can help me. Help me and you can have my sisters - and my cousin Grendel too. I say big prayer with this message. your eternal friend
