Reoccuring Dialog Boxes

H

Howard Lee

During some operations, I get a pop up dialog box warning me that this or
that operation can't undone. Even though I don't care about the message at
the moment, the appearance of the dialog box halts the current operation.
This prevents me from walking away during long operations, such doing it
over lunch or overnight, because I have to hit Yes or No.

Is there a way to suppress these dialogs?

Hi Howard,

No, I'm afraid not. Word wasn't really designed to work without user
interaction. I have some difficulty imagining what kinds of operations
you're performing that aren't macro-based?
