I recently installed the SP2 upgrade on Office 2004, running OSX
10.4.3, PBG4. This has fixed the problem of Word freezing after a
document was left open and idle for a long time. However, it has
introduced two new bugs:

In my quest to get comfortable with Word/Office 2004, I'm looking for a
good manual, the sort of guide where one can look up the answer to a
specific question or problem (in fact, a manual just like the wonderful
printed manual that Microsoft included with Word 5.1a, which offered a

Each time I open an new blank document a doucment(in Microsoft word
2004) that i wrote several months ago appears.  I have tried to resave
this document and the problem persists.  Any help with this matter is
much appreciated.  

Thanks for all the help with my previous questions.  I've got two more:
1.  I've just 'upgraded' from Word 5.1a to Word 2004, so all of my
preexisting text files are in Word 5.1a format.  When I open up a
preexisting 5.1a text file, make some changes in Word 2004, and try to

Since downloading Mac Office 2004 onto my iBook +OSX I cannot set the
default language in Tools. My preferred language is English UK; I click
this as well as indicating that this selection should be the default
option of Word from now on.

I want to make three or four lines of text on a page. The booger is
that I want each line to be on a baseline that I, not Word, specify.
Each line will be a different size type with the spacing between lines
to be adjusted as I want.

Using Word 2004 here.
I've got a bunch of documents here, and certain names are in CAPS, when
they actually need to be in Title Case and bold. Of course, I could do

I've recently purchased and installed Word 2004 on my hard drive.
Previous to doing this, I'd briefly installed Word X as a temporary
work-around to solve some printing problems I was having  with Word 5.
I now realize that Word 2004 lacks the ability to save a file in Word 5

I recently installed Word 2004 and have been adjusting the preferences
in keeping with the recommendations in "Bend Word to your Will".
For some reason, now when I select a block of text and hit 'delete',
instead of erasing the text the cursur just goes to the head of the

My wife and I are both running 10.4.3 (I'm on the iMac, she's on the iBook)
We've both got Office 2004 version 11.2
Today she tried to place a drawing from Microsoft Clip Art into a document
and draw a square box around it. She was then unable to send this box to the

Hope you can help me.
The "Symbol . . ." menu under "Insert" on the menu bar has disappeared from
my Word 2004 app. I have exhausted my extremely small bag of tricks --
running disk utility, reinstalling, first, Word, then the entire Office

How can I move Word toolbars to the left side of the screen (i.e. make
them vertical)?  Thanks!

Hey all --
I'm chasing after the holy grail of Applescript with Word: saving
documents as PDFs.
So far, I've found no information on how to do this through Word

I'm trying to find a replacement for the "Calculate" command that was
in Word 5.1. You could select a list of numbers (either in a table or
not), choose Calculate from a menu, and then it would put the sum on
the clipboard. Furthermore, you could type an arithmetic expression

I need help with inserting fractions from the character palette. I see all
kinds of fractions there in every font but can't get them into Word,
InDesign or anything else. Or, is there a way to automatically get 1/2, 1/3,
1/4, etc. to look like real fractions the same way the "st" ...
