Having just moved to Office97, I am discovering a few quirks that I 
can't solve myself.
1. Date. In the Insert --> Date box, there are alternative formats for 
the date, the first of which is something like 4/12/97 and the third of 
which is April 12, 1997. There is a button marked "Default," and the 
Tool Tips (or maybe it's the Office Assistant) says that using the 
button will set the default. But when I re-boot, I have to go thru the 
same rigamarole again. Suggestions?
2. Envelopes. Two problems here. I have set the default font as Times 
New Roman 12 point. When I use the envelope feature, the font is a 
different larger one, and I have not been able to figure out how to 
change the font for envelopes. Suggestions?
3. Tracking changes. I cannot figure out how to set a default here (in 
Normal.dot) so I do not have this feature activated. Often--but 
unpredictably so--when I "reuse" a letter (change the name, etc.), and 
go to print, it will show the revision markings. Sometimes the letter 
prints ok, but the envelope will print with the name and address 
underlined (as if indicating new text). Suggestions?
   That will get me started for now. Thanks for the help!
Regards from ME!
