Refuses to uncheck Embedded Smart Tags

[Walter R.]

Using Word 2002 SP2. In Tools > Options > Save, the "Embed Smart Tags" and
the "Embed Linguistic Data" checkboxes are checked.

When I uncheck them and OK, it does not take. These two boxes have a
checkmark in them the next time I open Word.

I even checked the box "Disable features introduced after Word 97" but it
still insists on putting a checkmark into the above 2 boxes.

Is this normal?? What did I overlook?

Hi Walter,

Using Word 2002 SP2. In Tools > Options > Save, the "Embed Smart Tags" and
the "Embed Linguistic Data" checkboxes are checked.

When I uncheck them and OK, it does not take. These two boxes have a
checkmark in them the next time I open Word.

These two options are document, not application-specific. So they should only
remain changed for a particular document. (And yeah, it bugs the [adjective]
out of me, too.)

You could, conceivably, put an AutoNew macro in your Normal.dot template that
would deactivate these for every new document you create.
