Design Mode when I don't want it

Locutus · 05-19-2005, 02:25 AM

After receiving an email with a Word attachment that was in design mode, I seem to get the Control Toolbox pop up at various times in various documents. There were no controls in the original document which started the thing, and no controls in the other documents I'm currently working on. How do I get the Control Toolbox to stop appearing?

In a possibly related issue, all the macros I created which are presumably resident in my Normal.dot, are no longer available (though they are in the New Macros list in Word), despite having swiched macro security to its lowest setting.

We're having the same problem here. Any luck?

I am having the following problem, after designing a form with a radio buttion in MS word 2003, I save as a word document, then when I reopen the file it reopens with design mode open and the radio buttons do'nt work unless I close it out. I have tried saving before and after protect document has been implimented.
Thanks for any help,
Sandy
