Hi All,
I have a doc - it's not so big - only 15 pages or so. (It will grow over the
course of today.)  It contains 6 different tables  - the last four I created
by copying the second one.

I am having a difficult time trying to figure out how to explain this
problem, but here goes. If you create a new notebook, the create date
usually shows up in the upper right. Rather than a date, I am getting
{CREATEDATE}. Also, formulas such as SUM(ABOVE) show up as {=sum(above)

When I open a new document it is always set-up as US letter size. How
do I change this so that all new documents are A4 size?

Hello. I need help. I am working on a project and I, sadly, have a
WIndows machine and my less-experienced colleague has a Mac. We are
using Word and he is having trouble with Track Changes. When I have
Track changes active I have a choice on my toolbar to show "final" or

I've got Mac Word 2001 on OS 9.2.2 that has been working fine for
several years. It has started quitting immediately when I open the
software. It starts up, gives me the splash screen to allow me to
choose what kind of document to open and when I select a new document,

Documents become corrupted in a peculiar way when I work on them on my Mac.
If I start with a uncorrupted document and work on it for a while, I find
that all the entries in my Autotext and all the addresses in my Entourage

I got some word 2004 templates. In all of them the backcolor of a text
selection is always black and the font then turns to white. So, in these
templates Word does not use the system settings for the selection color!
But if I create a new document, the colors are as expected.

I frequently use the Verdana font which appears miles down the list in the
Font menu and takes a long time to reach. Is there any way to jump to it
quickly? Hitting the ³v² key does nothing.

    I am trying to make an accent on the word Nose over the s. I can make
other
characters (o, e, u, etc) using the option E, then the letter function,
but an accent over an s won't work. I am on a Mac OSX Using Word 2004

I have a user that has made setting changes and screwed up the way word looks
at printer trays on the printers. When ever I open up an exsisting document
and go to page setup then the paper tab, the the first page and the Other
pages are both set to print to the Default tray ...

I recently upgraded from an iBook G3 running OS X 10.3.9 to an iBook G4
running 10.4.6. I've noticed that the appearance in Word X is flaky.
(Yes, Quartz smoothing is on.) It's hard to describe, but as I type,
characters, words, and whole lines appear light and hazy, and will

If I have a document on the network open in Word on my Mac and somebody
else tries to open it from Windows they get error messages saying that
it may be corrupt. The backup routine on Windows also gives error
messages like that when it is open on a Mac. If two Windows users open
