Is this a corrupted file? Should I reload the Office suite?     Was this post helpful to you?         Reply |   Top           Suzanne S.

It doesn't toggle between All and nothing; it toggles between All and any individual marks you may have selected on the View tab of Tools | Options. Go to the View Options and clear all the check boxes, and you should be where you want to be. -- Suzanne S.
