Microsoft Word – Disable features introduced after…

by alpinehaddock . Updated 18 years, 5 months ago

Microsoft Word has in the Tools -> Options dialogue box a nasty little checkbox to disable features introduced after Word 6.0/95 or Word 97. I do not wish this to be checked. Easy enough, you think?

No matter how many times I uncheck this box (including ensuring that it is also unchecked in Normal.dot) it keeps rechecking itself and then not letting me (eg) align text within a table, or save hyperlinks. And if it’s in a document that already has these features, it waits until I exit and then says that some things won’t be saved because they’re not compatible with Word 6!

When I turn it off it goes away for the immediate session of Word, possibly for the next one but then comes back. I am going slowly insane.

Does anybody know of a way of completely and irrevocably turning this option off?
