Subject:Re: Auto TOC in MS Weird 6.0 (subversive) From:Dan BRINEGAR <vr2link -at- VR2LINK -dot- COM> Date:Sat, 2 Aug 1997 04:21:30 -0700
Bridget Kerr <BMKERR -at- MAIL -dot- DELCOELECT -dot- COM>-- "For some reason, the automatic
Table of Contents refuses to work with the document. "
richard_schellens -at- MAIL -dot- GDT1 -dot- COM -- "I had exactly the same problem. We
tried more memory (24 meg) with no difference. Finally, I bought Word97 and
it worked fine. BUT [t]here is an amazing bug in Word 97 <snip> BTW, the MS
support site indicates that the fix is to not do it. I'm serious!"
Buck Buchanan <buck -dot- buchanan -at- citicorp -dot- com> -- "We use ONLY MSWord6 here and
it's awful! A colleague just completed a 400-pager with 300 tables. <snip>I
think she's going to leave over the issue of MSWord. Wish I could."
Buck says it all, so I will restrain my subversive tendencies and refrain
from reposting my "useless tools" rant, and merely invite y'all to point
your browsers to:
