Thumbnail

Few days ago I used 'document map' and 'thumbnails' command in view menu.
Now whenever I start Word the thumbnail also starts with it in left side.
How do I prevent this?
Even I close the thumbnail, it start again after I change views and back
again.

The last used view should hold, however if you saved that view in
normal.dot, it will probably persist. Open normal.dot for editing. Change
the view add a character to the text space and delete it (so that Word sees
a change to be saved) save and close normal.dot.

If that doesn't fix it, my guess is you are using Word 2003, which seems to
have a mind of its own when it comes to user settings. You can force the
thumbnail view off by adding the line
ActiveWindow.Thumbnails = False
to both an autoopen (for existing documents) and an autonew (for new
documents) macro.
If you are using Word 2003, you will be getting familiar with auto macros

I am using Word 2003. The method didn't fix the problem and I can't figure
how to do the second.

Is there newsgroup for only Word 2003? I thought this was.

Well I clicked the link and still I did not get it. Then I thought, "Ishwor,
this is it. Your problem is not going to solve. The two MVPs wants you to
see the answer in the webpage thats too cryptic to you."
So I just browsed the other link in the web page and found this sentences
which I thought this could pursue him to help me to give answers to my
problem.

In "How to NOT become an MVP" heading he has writen the following:

" Cryptic answers.
Many questioners are posting because the Word Help is too cryptic: they do
not know enough to be able to join the dots. If questioners appear from
their questions to have little experience, in addition to telling them what
to do, take a moment to tell them how. Of course you only need a line or
two if the question obviously came from a fellow expert. But take care to
encourage beginners; they are the very most important people here. Without
new people to keep the groups alive, there would soon be no people!"

Although I have been using Word for few years, it was mostly typing, bold,
font size and the like.
Yep I had heard about macros but I have not given much attention to it. Its
completely greek to me.
It seems Word MVP Mayor has been practising what he has written in "How to
NOT become an MVP".

Your sarcasm is unnecessary and doesn't encourage me to help you further. If
you don't understand anything on my web site, you only have to ask. There is
even a feedback link on the site for that purpose.

I bear no responsibility for what appears on the MVP web site, though I have
contributed to it.

My own web site contains a variety of tutorials spelled out in words of one
syllable and illustrated where appropriate with screen shots taken from
Word, provided in my own time and at my own expense.

It is difficult to see how I could make it easier to follow.

However ......

Follow the list below:

1. Tools macro macros. In the 'Macros in' drop down, select normal.dot.
Are there macros listed called autoopen and /or autonew? If there are then
select one and choose 'edit'. If not (as should be the case unless you have
already added such a macro) type autonew in the name box and choose
'create' (now you see why I chose to illustrate my web pages).

2. In between sub autonew() and end sub copy the line from the earler post.

3. Copy the three lines and paste below end sub (so they appear twice).

4. In the second version change the word autonew to autoopen

5. Click the save button and close the editor.

6. Job done!

My web site www.gmayor.com

he he . My mistake. I should have asked again. I just thought I would not
get answers.

But guess what, your method didn't worked completely. I did as you told,
like I put only "ActiveWindow.Thumbnails = False" in between the sub
autonew()/autoopen() and end sub. I closed opened Word again but still
thumbnails opened. I tried many times. Then I did it again in normal.dot and
I closed and opened Word and viola, thumbnail is gone.But when I switched to
normal view the thumbnail pops to view. I played with this many times but
thumbnail is there in normal view.

I inserted "End with" in macro as I had seen in your macro webpage example
(he he I became over smart). Of course it showed error when opening and
creating new document. After that thumbnail sometimes appear and sometimes
not when changing views.

I decided I had enough so I deleted the both macros and also I deleted
autoexit.main. Then I closed opened Word and by the bless of all Hindu Gods,
the thumbnail is gone and don't come even when changing the views. Hurray.

But the Word has become very unstable. When I run mouse through toolbar
icons sometimes it just focus on one of the icon and hangs for about maximum
40 seconds and then runs normally. It also happens with menu, when I click
it, the menu just frozes for sometime. But the worse is when I exit the word
it seems to hang forever. I have to kill it in Task Manager. It happens most
of the time but not always. I am trying to solve this by disabling Office
Assistant and unstalling Office Sounds I had downloaded from Microsoft and
unchecking FineReader addin in Template and Addins dialog box. But
FineReader Addin becomes checked when I open Word again. I thought of
deleting that dot file from Startup folder. But thought somebody might need
it.

Got any clue whats happening. I think after I installed Office Sounds, the
Office Assistant began to behave awkward. Sometimes when starting it say
that "Something Agent 2.0 is required" something like that.

he he . My mistake. I should have asked again. I just thought I would not
get answers.

But guess what, your method didn't worked completely. I did as you told,
like I put only "ActiveWindow.Thumbnails = False" in between the sub
autonew()/autoopen() and end sub. I closed opened Word again but still
thumbnails opened. I tried many times. Then I did it again in normal.dot and
I closed and opened Word and viola, thumbnail is gone.But when I switched to
normal view the thumbnail pops to view. I played with this many times but
thumbnail is there in normal view.

I inserted "End with" in macro as I had seen in your macro webpage example
(he he I became over smart). Of course it showed error when opening and
creating new document. After that thumbnail sometimes appear and sometimes
not when changing views.

I decided I had enough so I deleted the both macros and also I deleted
autoexit.main. Then I closed opened Word and by the bless of all Hindu Gods,
the thumbnail is gone and don't come even when changing the views. Hurray.

But the Word has become very unstable. When I run mouse through toolbar
icons sometimes it just focus on one of the icon and hangs for about maximum
40 seconds and then runs normally. It also happens with menu, when I click
it, the menu just frozes for sometime. But the worse is when I exit the word
it seems to hang forever. I have to kill it in Task Manager. It happens most
of the time but not always. I am trying to solve this by disabling Office
Assistant and unstalling Office Sounds I had downloaded from Microsoft and
unchecking FineReader addin in Template and Addins dialog box. But
FineReader Addin becomes checked when I open Word again. I thought of
deleting that dot file from Startup folder. But thought somebody might need
it.

Got any clue whats happening. I think after I installed Office Sounds, the
Office Assistant began to behave awkward. Sometimes when starting it say
that "Something Agent 2.0 is required" something like that.

Your sarcasm is unnecessary and doesn't encourage me to help you further.
If
you don't understand anything on my web site, you only have to ask. There
is
even a feedback link on the site for that purpose.

I bear no responsibility for what appears on the MVP web site, though I
have
contributed to it.

My own web site contains a variety of tutorials spelled out in words of
one
syllable and illustrated where appropriate with screen shots taken from
Word, provided in my own time and at my own expense.

It is difficult to see how I could make it easier to follow.

However ......

Follow the list below:

1. Tools macro macros. In the 'Macros in' drop down, select
normal.dot.
Are there macros listed called autoopen and /or autonew? If there are then
select one and choose 'edit'. If not (as should be the case unless you
have
already added such a macro) type autonew in the name box and choose
'create' (now you see why I chose to illustrate my web pages).

2. In between sub autonew() and end sub copy the line from the earler
post.

3. Copy the three lines and paste below end sub (so they appear twice).

4. In the second version change the word autonew to autoopen

5. Click the save button and close the editor.

6. Job done!

Well I clicked the link and still I did not get it. Then I thought,
"Ishwor, this is it. Your problem is not going to solve. The two MVPs
wants you to see the answer in the webpage thats too cryptic to you."
So I just browsed the other link in the web page and found this
sentences which I thought this could pursue him to help me to give
answers to my problem.

In "How to NOT become an MVP" heading he has writen the following:

" Cryptic answers.
Many questioners are posting because the Word Help is too cryptic:
they do not know enough to be able to join the dots. If questioners
appear from their questions to have little experience, in addition to
telling them what to do, take a moment to tell them how. Of course
you only need a line or two if the question obviously came from a
fellow expert. But take care to encourage beginners; they are the
very most important people here. Without new people to keep the
groups alive, there would soon be no people!"

Although I have been using Word for few years, it was mostly typing,
bold, font size and the like.
Yep I had heard about macros but I have not given much attention to
it. Its completely greek to me.
It seems Word MVP Mayor has been practising what he has written in
"How to NOT become an MVP".

Instructions for installing the macro Graham provided are in the
article
he
cited at http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm.

No, there is no NG for Word 2003. All the Word NGs are for all
versions, which is why it is helpful if you tell us what version
you're using.

I am using Word 2003. The method didn't fix the problem and I can't
figure how to do the second.

Is there newsgroup for only Word 2003? I thought this was.

The last used view should hold, however if you saved that view in
normal.dot, it will probably persist. Open normal.dot for editing.
Change the view add a character to the text space and delete it
(so that Word sees a change to be saved) save and close normal.dot.

If that doesn't fix it, my guess is you are using Word 2003, which
seems to have a mind of its own when it comes to user settings.
You can force the thumbnail view off by adding the line
ActiveWindow.Thumbnails = False
to both an autoopen (for existing documents) and an autonew (for
new documents) macro.
If you are using Word 2003, you will be getting familiar with auto
macros See http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm
