Word 2007 - show all formatting codes - doesn't stick?

When I check the option under Word Options - Display to show all formatting
codes, it doesn't seem to always *stick*. it works for awhile one day and
then the next day I open Word and suddenly the formatting codes box is
unchecked again. Anyone have a fix for this? Thanks!

Generally, if options don't stick in Word, you can try deleting the Data key
(see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/MissingMenusEtc.htm). If it still
doesn't work correctly, you can use a pair of auto macros in normal.dotm
such as the following:

Sub AutoOpen()
ActiveWindow.View.ShowAll = True
End Sub

Sub AutoNew()
ActiveWindow.View.ShowAll = True
End Sub

See http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm for further instructions. The
article also includes more examples of setting options in Word (such as view
and zoom).
