Question regarding templates

P

P D Sterling

Foolishly, I deleted a lot of the general templates, as I prefer to make my
own templates, and now I would like to at least view the Calendar Wizard. I
am concerned about uninstalling and re-installing Word, because I don't want
to lose custom settings, etc.

Is there a way to extract one itty-bitty piece off the CD or could I
download this from the KB? Any advice will be gratefully appreciated.

Re-installing does not change custom settings, but nothing so drastic is
required. Re-run setup from Windows Control Panel Add or Remove Programs and
add the missing templates.

The templates that ship with Word are described as "installed and
advertised" templates, as compared with the user templates that you create
(including Normal.dot). They are "installed" if you check "Run from my
computer" and "advertised" if you check "Install on first use." And they are
available only in blocks or chunks, so you can't install a single template
or wizard.

What you can do, however, is install the block(s) that include(s) the
template(s) or wizard(s) you want and copy that/those template(s) or
wizard(s) from the folder where Word installs templates into your own user
templates folder. Once you have the copy available, you can run Setup again
to uninstall the installed templates.

I have numerous tabs in the File New dialog full of my own custom templates,
but I also have three tabs where I have dumped copies of the templates and
wizards that come with Word. This makes them available if I want to test
something with one but keeps them out of my way during normal use.

I wouldn't think a Repair install would change any of the user settings; if
I understand it correctly, it just replaces needed files that are missing.

You don't use "roger" and "wilco" together. Roger, which is from the
phonetic alphabet for the letter R, means "Message received". Wilco is short
for "Will Comply". When using "wilco" it implies that you've received the
message. The only person who should use "wilco" is the person who will
perform whatever action was ordered as opposed to just being a messenger.

(I have a similar response for "over"and "out". And never make the mistake
about talking about a flag at half-mast outside of a building!
Grrrrrrrrrrr!)

So what's wrong with saying that you've received the message and will comply
with the orders it contained? And what's complaint about "over and out"? My
understanding is that "over" is for one-way communication (as on a
walkie-talkie), where you have to let the other person that you've stopped
talking and will now listen while he talks. "Out" means that you're turning
the conversation over and terminating the exchange.

This seems to be confirmed by
http://www.phrases.org.uk/bulletin_board/29/messages/151.html, though
http://powerboat.about.com/cs/marinevhf/a/VHFetiquette.htm seems to agree
with your take.

Wilco implies roger. I didn't invent the rules - I just followed them.

Perhaps you are no politician, but unless the message is a direct order from
an authorized superior, Message Received and Will Comply are different. I
have received your message as posted, and will not comply, capece?

Although I am not military or para-military, to me, Over means back to you,
Suzanne. Out means *no more from me*, unless you key on and say, No look,
there's more to the conversation.

Nope, not a politician.(Thank heavens!!) Was just a radio operator in the
Army who was taught the difference between those two terms. :)
