Dear Linda and group, I think that my question is a recent topic that went through already - so pardon me if I'm repeating this for yous... Today I worked on a couple of files and then when I went to save and close for the day Word told me that the settings for the normal dot ...has been changed do I want to keep it as such - (I'm not quoting - just going from memory) and if I said no I could not do anything else when trying to save it - so I had to agree. Now what exactly does that mean and how do I go back to saving as usual - without changing normal/global settings - and why did that happen - I don't recall doing anything different that would 'change' my settings. My second question is about OE - this is entirely new to me as I do not use it at home - however we started using it at work and it seems that we have alot of problems with attachments - like opening them - or getting attachments and finding out that they can't be opened because OE removed it because it could be harmful - why does OE scan the mail like this some of us get the same mail and some of us can open it while others get the 'removed' statement - and what do I do for difficult attachments that won't open? I don't write often but when I do....thank you in advance for your help Beth/ecarmona@xxxxxxx ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe" (without the quotes) in the subject line.
