Hi Jack:
NOW you offer... :-)
Somewhere there is an extraordinarily embarrassing not to say libellous
photograph of me in full motorcycle leathers, with crash-helmet and
gloves... But no motorcycle...
As a result of rather overly-thorough "testing" of the previous batch, I had
apparently managed to over-prime the bottles in the current batch. With the
inevitable result ? loud explosions...
So there was I, carefully loosening the caps in full battle regalia :-)
Managed to get them all de-capped without any further explosions. But in
the past 20 years I still have not managed to extract that photo from the
clutches of the former housemate ... :-)
Cheers

I get a warning message about macros and whether I
should enable them or not.
Can you give me a hint how to answer that? I'm sure you would not have
included anything dangerous, so why that warning message?
Hello Jack,
A less poetic response than m'learned colleague E. Roper (who lives in the
wind-and-rain-lashed hills that so inspired Wordsworth et al -- it rubs off,
even after all these years), but just to mention what in "Bend Word to Your
Will" triggers the warning if you have the setting enabled:
If a document has ever had a macro, or -- I¹ve been told -- has ever been
attached to a template other than the Normal template (which this one has),
it will trigger this warning if you have set your preferences to be
notified. (This is discussed on page 36 of "Bend Word to Your Will", by the
way -- but it's not much use there if you need to resolve the question
before you open it, which prompts me to add an explanation to that effect on
the web page; thanks for triggering that!)
The warning can be useful, since a macro may or may not contain a macro
virus. All it checks for is to see if the container that might hold
customizations exists in the document; if so, the alert appears. The
trigger could simply be a customised keystroke, or there may be no
customizations at all.
So don't worry about it; the document was virus-checked before it was
uploaded.
But a warning about the *content* of "Bend Word to Your Will" -- it's more
of a dictionary than a novel, designed to be used electronically and most
subjects are self-contained dictionary-style entries. Be sure to read the
front end of the document, though -- especially pages 3 and 5 -- so you can
select some Word settings that will allow you to use the document
effectively.

============================================================
Once again I am so incredibly grateful for the fullsome answers you
folks provide.
As a freelance writer I also "Live by the Word" and get frustrated by
its quirks.
As Elliot suggested, if the opportunity ever pops up I will gladly
provide any answer I might have stumbled across. Would that I could.
Meanwhile, outside of my writing for several magazines in the film/
video field, these days I am spending a lot of time teaching beginners
about home beer brewing. It's a hobby I have been very active with for
several years. Totally off this group's discussion, if any of you are
interested in learning how to brew the best beer you have ever tasted,
let me know. Perhaps that is one way I can return your very generous
and much appreciated input.
