Aha! Thank you, Number 1. Easy when you know how.

I can confirm that REMing out the line "RegKey10=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Word\Data|Settings" in WinApp.ini with a semi-colon has resolved my problem. I agree with pwillener that "something should be done about it". Many thanks/Diolch.

Thank you, Andavari and Humpty, I shall investigate winapp. It would also explain why the key HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Word\ was void when I examined it while searching for the reasons my "options" were not being saved. I'll get back? Diolch yn fawr!

I have recently been very frustrated with Word 2003, because I have not be able to retain my peronsalised settings for Word 2003's Normal.dot. These are minor settings like the text boundary, seeing the tab and paragraph marks and my address. Not critical, but very annoying having to set them every time I used Word. After much searching of the 'net without success, and by now running out of ideas and blaming MS, I disabled CCleaner's "Run when the computer starts". Problem solved! I'm now trying to work out which setting of CCleaner is reponsible for deleting this part of Word or Office. Any suggestions?
