I am writing in a word document about Health Savings Accounts. When I
use the abbreviation 'HSA' then Word keeps changing it to 'HAS'. I have
selected 'ignore words in uppercase' in the spelling preferences panel.

We recently migrated from a Novell to a Windows 2003 server and all of
the files (primarily Word and PowerPoint files) copied to the

Dear group members:

it's not enough that i have written a doctoral dissertation-- I have to
upload it to into a PDF and the university wants it as "live" as

2004 for Mac.  Sometimes when I use the format painter or style

A template contains two fonts: Helvetica and Palatino. I've added the
Palatino SC font into my system. Header and footer of the Template are

Hi am trying to do an assignment that involves line and paragraph
spacing to specs, for example, spacing between two paragraphs of text,
or a horizontal line (picture) and text. Problem is, I seem to get

I am trying to restore my modest customizations in Word98 in OS9.2. They
appear to have been replaced/disconnected about two weeks ago, about 30
