Greetings,

Have you any idea how I get rid of this?

Alec sent the NTE Committee some scanned pages which had columns, but I
could not read across as normal, it read one column,then the second column,
Etc.  So, I saved the files separately as text and this put the columns, as
might be expected, after each other.  I cannot send them to anybody else, as
they contain confidential data.

So, in the text version, I sorted out the blank lines between the ends of
columns, intending to make into Word tables.

I opened a Word document and thought how do I set up a table of the right
sort?  I went into the menus and entered on draw table.  Word said it could
not do this unless I was in print layout instead of my usual normal, so I
ok'd that then could not find out the next step.  I closed the document
without saving but eversince, I've been unable properly to read anything, it
keeps coming up with tables and borders and strange symbols, even though I
did not save the document.

I deleted the normal.dot file to force Word when I purposely created an
empty document, to create a new normal.dot, as I have learnt from messages
seen on various lists.

I tried unloading Jaws v5.10 and loading v4.5, the results were the same, so
I do not think it is a jaws, but a word problem.

I am using Word2000 from my Office2000Pro, which I have had and not updated
since purchase in late 1999.

any ideas?

   
Colin Howard looks forward to hearing from you.
