Mac Forum / Applications / Word / August 2005

I'm running Word 2004 in 10.4.2 on one computer and in 10.3.9 on
another. I have a document that I am paginating, and in three or four
spots I want to insert a forced page break in the middle of a justified
paragraph. Unfortunately, this automatically places a carriage return at

I've used the Data Merge Manager before--with various documents.
Now when I open a form document that I've created before, the Data
Merge Manager is checked--which means that it should be visible.  But
it's nowhere to be seen.

After playing about with wildcard search with mack's three space
problem, my v.X has given up on {m,n} style match counts. It appears to
use {1} regardless of the values of m and n.
e.g if the file contains "buggered", ug{1,}e fails.

In word 2004, I have three spaces between sentences and I need two
spaces only.
In Find and Replace, I used "any letter"  from the special character
menu then "full stop". This found the full stops at the end of words.

I own the latest  academic edition of Office 2004: Mac and have
recently  begun experiencing wildly uneven spell checking performance
in Word and have exhausted all Help remedies and friendly advice.
I am working on a 100 page manuscript and recently began using Comic

Dear List,
Like a bad penny, I return. Perhaps someday, in a decade or two, I'll
be able to help answer a question. Now I seem only to nag. First it was
macros, then effacing my identity from a file. By the way, that was

I am having trouble with the notebook portion of Word, student edition.
Up until now, I have been able to press return, go to next line or
bullet, and press delete if I wanted to move back to the left
(promote).  I was also able to press delete and change bullet to a

Foolish act #1 was installing 983 shiny new fonts along with upgradin
to Tiger. Assumed the "disable" feature in Font Book 2 would grant mor
control, ease of use and management of all these wonderful fonts. So wh
not dop on tons of fun fonts?

Office 2004. Might be a stupid question, but what's the easy to convert
a document to plain text. I've tried saving as plain text, but I still
get a somewhat formatted document. I want to strip all the MS code from
it.

I have had this issue going back through several versions of Office
(possibly even pre-Office X), on a number of different machines. I have at
least one friend who has the same frustration, and we've never mixed any
software on our machines.

This is quite possibly me being completely thick. If so, please be
gentle with me.
I've used Word for years both at work on PCs and at home on Macs,
starting with a Classic centuries ago. Now I've just bought a iMac G5

Hi,  I had excellent help on this list to fix a recent problem by going
to the "Normal" file , deleting it, then quitting and restarting word.
All this is on a fairly new computer with word 2004.  Now I seem to get
other strange things happening (New documents with a large Happy

I have received an email in Hungarian. when opening this document on my
Windows based machine this is fine. But when I open this email on my
macintosh, running os X certain characters are changed making the language
unreadable.

I am like 99.9% sure that I used to be able to indent, or go to the
next level of a bullet and number list by pressing the TAB key while
typing, and I could back up a level by pressing SHIFT+TAB.
However, today as I am creating a new outline I seem not to be able to
