When trying to save a file after naming it for the first time we get the
message, Word cannot save this file because it is open elsewhere. You can do
a save as and rename it as a workaround but this is not ideal. We have
Extreme Zip on Windows 2003 server and all our network home ...

I am at the final stages of writing a PhD thesis and use Endnote for
references. The file is now about 250 pages long with quite a few
refefences and it looks as if Word can no longer cope. When I try to
format a bibliography it tells me that Word has insufficient memory. It

What is the logic behind the behavior of Table of Contents in Word 2004:
First, when i create the TOC based on the Styles of the document it works ok
and hyperlinks me to the chapter, that I click. BUT
After I update the TOC, this behavior is lost, and I cannot return it. TOC

Utterly inelegant subject heading, but I wasn't sure how else to give it
in a nutshell. What I'm looking to do is this:
Create formatting so that the last line before a carriage return, one
ending in a tab, can extend past where the rest of the paragraph

I use "smart quotes" -- i.e., quotation marks that curl downward toward
the quoted material: on the front end, they curl from left to right;
after the quotation, it's vice-versa. The problem: When I do a quote
within a quote -- i.e., one that begins with a double quotation mark

Try to save as and save in Word 2004 for Mac. I want to save it to a
specific folder, but Word won't let me drill down further then documents.
How do I (for example) save something in
documents->Businessfolder->clientfolder?

Once again, one of these simple things that should be no problem, but Word
finds a way to make it difficult...
All I'm trying to do is copy a table - not even a big one - from one Word
doc to another.  Every single time I paste, without fail, Word crashes.  I

I have a number of old Word files (created as far back as 1989) that
will not open in Word 2004.  I get the following message when I try to
do so:  "Word cannot open this document.  The document might be in use
or might not be a valid word document."  I tried the following fixes

I have Office running on Mac OS X and Word doesn't seem to have Equation
Editor and I can't find where to download it from the web. Does it come with
this version of Word, or is it just not an option for this version of Word.

Please help. I have changed Normal and some other styles, and now I just want
to revert all styles to square one and start over.
I can't find where to reset all styles to original defaults. No matter what
I try (deleting pref files, reinstalling Office 2004, etc.) my Normal style

I have a series of footnotes:
1.  John Smith, My Book
2.  Jack Spratt, Another Book
3.  Jane Smythe, Yet Another Book

In my work I receive a lot of files as attachments to email. Many of
these documents have titles such as
"Chapter_10_Transcription$#1378999#"--in other words an English title
followed by a string of gobbledygook. If I select the "Save" button in

Does anyone know how I can do a word count in notebook view on Word
2004 for Mac? The live word count is not visible and the word count
option is not available from the tools menu. Thanks! :-)

One of my documents on Microsoft Word will not print. Other Word
documents print without a problem. However, one of mine will not print,
whether just a page, the whole document, in black and white, or in
color. I've tried everything I know. Please help!!!

I have a Word document which was exported from another program. It should
have a 6pt space after each paragraph, but there is no space between
paragraphs. The Format/Paragraph settings show a 6pt space after each
paragraph. There are paragraph marks after each paragraph. If I ...
