Three problems with W2007; need help.

[Digitalic]

So far Word 2007 has been a problem for almost every W2003 doc I have opened.
I am trying to keep an open mind with this but working with advanced
knowledge of W2003 is almost useless.

1. The changed text screentips balloons are now not removable if you want to
see the changes.

2. Graphic objects move in almost random ways when you try to use arrow keys
to relocate them.

3. Record a paste unformatted text macro and the result will NOT past
unformatted text; it pastes formatted text.

Anyone got any ideas on any of these?

Best of Luck

3. Add the Paste Unformatted command to your Quick Access Toolbar.

1. On the Review tab, click Track Changes, and then click Change Tracking
Options. Select the desired option for "Use balloons (Print and Web
Layout)." I believe the option you want is "Only for comments/formatting."

2. Sorry, I must be missing something, but I don't know what you mean here.
How, exactly, are you moving the objects?

3. The macro recorder is flawed (more or less so in all versions). The
following macro can be used to paste as unformatted text:

Sub PasteUnformattedText()
On Error Resume Next
Selection.PasteSpecial DataType:=wdPasteText
End Sub

Thanks Peter and Stefan,
I'll go with Peter's add command suggestion but wonder how many more macro
problems I will have. I use the record macro tool a lot to reduce repetitive
tasks without having to remember all the class objects in VisualBasic.

I tried Stefan's balloon help but it doesn't work for me. I have tried all
sorts of things and pop up balloons continue to appear over any changed text
unless I choose to not show changed text. This makes editing with many
changes a major hassle with pop up obscuring large areas. In W2003 all I had
to do was uncheck ScreenTips in the options menu. That no longer works
(options popular ScreenTip style) as the changed text balloons are no longer
screentips I guess.

The graphics I am trying to move are pasted jpg's and I am or was using the
arrow keys up-down-left-rigth to move the images (layout in front of text).
I pressed the left arrow key and the graphic moved up and right! There must
be an issue with my invisible grid or something. I tried control and shift
key modifiers with no luck.
