RE: Word not behaving

["Hemstreet, Deborah" <DHemstreet -at- kaydon -dot- com>]

I should have said that BEFORE step 2, not after (about backing up your
macros)

Actually, I was taught, a long time ago, by experience and colleagues -
NEVER save ANY macros you need in Normal.doc...

I have a personal template where I store all my critical macros. I test
in Normal, then save in a different template.

Has saved me lots of sorrow... You have no idea how often I've deleted
Normal.doc - the standard solution for all too many problems in Word...
<sigh>

Yikes.  I think there should be a note to back-up Normal.dot in location
away from the templates folder so that it can be re-built if necessary.
Otherwise, everything else Deborah says sounds right.

I have had the "can't select or copy" issue, but it was years ago and
the
fix then was to either restart Word or reboot my system; I don't recall
which.  I think the problem was related to some form of graphics memory
or
other memory issue on a work machine.
