I have Word 97 and running WinXP.
Whenever a document is made, when saving the document, no
matter what I type as the name for the document, it saves
the document using only the first letter of the desired
name. Example: We try to name a document "Chapter 5" and
when it's saved, we then pull up the open dialog box to
find the file is then called "C." This causes a huge
problem, as anyone can see. We can't tell which document
to open because we don't know, or remember what "L" means
one time or what "S" means another. We can, however, go
in after saving the document and rename the document. But
it's a huge hassle and a forgotten step that has become a
nuisance.
Another place this problem occurs is in the font dialog
box and also the Thesaurus. In the font dialog box, all
fonts in the section box are named by their first letter,
as well. Therefore, when I try to change a font in the
selection box, I first click on Times New Roman, for
example, but only "T" is put into the selection box.
Because of just the "T" entered, when I hit okay to apply
that font, it says Word doesn't recognize the font type.
Aaaaah!
And with the Thesaurus, here's what happens: Say I want
to find synonyms for the word "increase," I would
highlight the word then go to the thesaurus. Once there,
I can find the word I want to replace "increase" with,
let's say "grow," so I click on it. The only thing that
shows up in the selection box is "g" so that when I
click 'apply,' a "g" replaces the word "increase."
I would think all these are somehow related to one
another.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
