Sorry, in the time I have available I cannot seem to tie down the property.

Comment is the ‘note’ that you can stick in a cell (Insert-Comment).

Hans,

Thanks for your response. I can stretch over two windows but it is not so elegant. I will convert my window frams as being top and bottom, not side by side and then tile the files. I think I will typically start another application if this does nto work well.

Andrew, Phil and Kim,

Thanks for all your inputs. I tried a number of your recommendations this morning which did not work:

Phil’s suggestions: Tried start /run did not work but this is probably due to me removing word from start menu. I postponed suggestion 1,2 & 3 until trying Kim and Andrew’s suggestions.

Kim’s suggestions: I deleted all graphics and it still hung during TOC update.
Andrew’s Suggestions: Turned off spelling and confirmed no graphic in the header table.

When I tried the table update following Andrew’s suggestion, I noticed that the repagnation was getting stuck on page 48 (checked later no graphics on pg 48 just text with a couple of headings) and word also had the instruction ‘hit ESC to discontinue’ or words to that effect. I hit ESC and ‘Hey Presto’, the TOC was updated…for what reason I am not sure. COnfused, I went to the original document removed the style aliases as I had done before, turned on the spell checking etc, left all the graphics in and hit the TOC update and it worked#!#@$!!

I dont understand why but it is working now so I, and my colleague, are happy. Thanks for all your assistance. Wish I could advise why the problem fixed itself.

Thanks Hans. I missed the ‘send to’ option. I was used to seeing the ‘create shortcut’ (following highlighting file, right mouse click) that you get when highlighting a file or other directory. Dont know, now dont care, why that function does not work with the Favorites directory.

Thanks again.
