Permantly turn off typing replaces selection

[Guest]

Is there any way to permantly turn off the option of "typing replaces
selection"? I hate having to go in and uncheck the box on every document I
start. I am using Office 2003.

If this setting is not being maintained, then either your Word Data key in
the Registry is damaged or something is updating the Registry behind your
back.

Click on "Tools", then "Options" Click on the "Edit tab", and uncheck the
box "Typing Replaces Selection" This will keep it off for all documents.

If this is how you have been turning it off and it keeps turning itself on,
try opening Word (so it will open with a standard, blank document) and turn
it off.

The former is easily fixed by resetting the data key. The latter you may
have to live with, but the trusty autoopen macro containing the line -
Options.ReplaceSelection = True
will fix it

Thanks,

I am not sure which is happening, and not sure how to do the autoopen macro,
but I have opened several blank documents, unchecked the box, and actually on
a few documents that I open frequently I occasionaly have to uncheck the box
again. That's right it resets itself on documents. So apparently I have a
problem. Any suggestions will be apprecitated.

The autoopen macro is as follows:

Sub Autoopen()
Options.ReplaceSelection = True
End Sub

Install as per http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm
