Mac Forum / Applications / Word / November 2005

I am cataloguing a lot of products and need to add photos. I have read
that it is possible to add the photo's path in the data spreadsheet (on
a PC) but can't work out how to do it on a Mac.
Basically there is an Excel sheet with columns showing description,

I just purchased and installed MS Office 2004 on my brand-new Mac Mini.
Everything seems to be working fine, but the installation process only
required two of the three CDs. What's the third installation CD for,
and if I didn't use it, am I missing anything from the installation?

I need to get some macros from PC to Mac. When I open the word docs on
the Mac with macros created on the PC they will not work. Well, some
will, but some won't. One problem that we have is that the toolbar for
the macros resides on one of our servers. If I record a macro on the

We keep having problems with a MS Word Macro virus (WM97) that keeps
infecting our outgoing word documents.  How can I remove the macro
virus?  Do you recommend a specific antivirus or cleaner for the MAC?
We have a powerbook G4 and a couple of older iBooks, I could use some

I have tried several things... turning off font duplicates, letting
Word recreate the Normal template, installing the latest update, etc.
but invariably, Word will freeze at some point, typically when opening

I'm having a weird problem with a Canon Pixma IP5000 printer which I
just purchased. It works fine with every program when my G4 is booted
into OS 10.3.3, and every program when it is booted into 9.2.2.
However, when I try to print from Word 5.1a while running classic, the

    Is it possible to open word 5.1 documents in word 2004 (or X) and keep
formatting intact?

Problem:When I highlight a section of text to change the font or point
size -of that section only- the entire document changes to the new size
or font. I cannot find an auto formatting option to change this, I've
been searching each window for an hour now. I imagine there is a ...

I'm trying to save a 61 page document as a pdf via the print function
in word:mac and it keeps stopping at page 20 and then creating a second
file for pages 21-61.  Is there a reason for this?  Can I keep if from
happening?

Word 2004 has the intrusive habit by default of being Big Brother,
forever looking over one's shoulder, underlining possible errors,
flagging places for suggestions, etc.  All that means frequent
distracting eye candy or bizarre symbols that suddenly appear.  I've

Word and Office programs take a while to start. It says 'optimising font
menu performance' on the screen.
There are sooo many fonts.
Hoe can I remove most of them to a foler on my drive and put them back later

I am using Microsoft Word 2004 for Mac, Version 11.2, running on Mac
OSX 10.4.3.  I'm current with all my updates.  The problem that I am
having has been mentioned in this forum previously (for Office X), but
the solutions suggested did not work for me.

I wondered if anyone could tell me if there was some way to
automatically remove a space that appears at the beginning of each line
in a Word document I have. I understand that you can use find and
replace but this method doesn't let you specify which space you want

I recently upgraded to Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac.
But, now I can't use "insert symbol."  Every time I try I get boxes in
the Word document.  Interestingly, if I paste the text in other
applications (like Eudora or even in this message the "boxes" display

I have created several charts in Excel which I am trying to paste (or
otherwise put) into a Word document. When I copy / paste special, the
style of shading I have assigned to the different types of bars in
Excel appears differently in the Work document
