You can create styles based on "(no style)," but it is just as effective to avoid modifying Normal.

Blank Word Doc Opens Randomly

Ctrl+N creates a new, blank document in Word. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "GalantGirl79" wrote in message ... I have a user that complains of a blank Word Doc opening randomly. I suspect he may be accidentally keying a shortcut or something because his computer has been replaced this year and it continues to happen. Does anyone know what the keyboard shortcut for opening Word is? Thanks!!

It should be saved in your normal.dot or normal.dotm (depending on version of Word) template, unless the checkboxes about where to save it have been changed, and thereafter it will appear in all new documents based on that template. It's also possible to create new styles that aren't saved to a template but only in the document for which they are created.

Cross Reference not Updating
Published (2009-11-23 17:32:00)
Cross-references don't update automatically. You have to update them explicitly with Ctrl+A, F9 or by switching to Print Preview or printing. But if you insert a new numbered item before a cross-referenced one by pressing Enter at the beginning of the existing one, then you get the new one inside the bookmark for the old one, and that will mess up your cross-reference; see http://www.thedoctools.com/index.php...erence_trouble -- Suzanne...

Published (2009-11-23 22:12:00)
In the edit hyperlink dialog, put the URI in both the Address and Text-to- display boxes. That way you can use a space or linebreak to wrap the display text to the next line without affecting the hyperlink ability. Hyphens will work too, but that might be misleading to readers who have to type the URI.
