Hey c_luc9


Thanks for the reply I tried your links but am still unable to correct the problem, trying to get ahold of support is almost impossible, but I accidentally clicked on the little man icon on my word document page found in the far right upper corner that has smilie face's for direct help for the Microsoft Office app. So I complained to them and they my even reply to your app query.

Regards
