I'm running Mac OS 10.4.5 and Word 11.2, newly installed on an iBook
G4. When I first tried to insert an equation in a Word document,
Equation Editor started to open and then gave me the error message
"Equation Editor has encountered a problem and needs to close." Here

I have created a Word document using Office for Mac 2004 v.11.2.3.  This
report contains an inserted graph from an Excel spreadsheet.  However, it is
cut off when you view the graph in the Word file.  If I open it with Office
2003 on my PC it displays just fine so I know the file ...

Recently it seems something has caused an undesired change in that if we go
onto the server and open any Word doc, then exit without making any change
(and properly NOT being asked to save any changes as there were none), the
date modified on the document on the server's list of ...

I am using Word 2004 on Mac OS 10.4 and i have a problem with endnotes
numbering. I am working with a big report where all footnotes are
inserted as endnotes in the end of the document with auto numbering.
If i insert a new note between let's say note 3 and 4, it takes number

I have a problem with Word documents from a customer. It is blank when
opened in Office 2004 (both if I double-click on it and if I force it open i
Word, by dragging it).
It is a .doc document, I don't know what version of Word it is created in,

When I open a document in Word 2003, the program hangs for 3 to 4 seconds
and uses 100% CPU.
The document displays quickly, but the hourglass stays and the PC locks up
for 3 to 4 seconds.

So I made a mistake in a document and saved the wrong versions.  A lot
of work is perhaps down the drain - unless I can somehow recover it.  Is
this possible after its been saved?  (Yes, incremental backups would be
nice right about now!.)

Using Office 2004 for Mac (11.2.3), we are trying to merge to email
between Word and Entourage.
The mail merge works fine using Query Options to a category in the
Office Address Book.

In my preference drop down menu, spelling and grammar is greyed out, would
love to use this function, alas, i cannot at this time, any help out there?
thanks

I have a very basic question I¹ve never been able to answer. How can I open
a template as an untitled document, other than by using the Project Gallery
³New² tab in Word?  I¹d love to be able to do this faster than the
multi-step ³Command-Shift-P, click ³New², click on a folder (and ...

Hi evereyone,
 after updating OS X to 10.4.6, I no longer could use Word -- it crashed on
me every time I attempted to load a document. A thorough search on the net
brought me to this MacFixIt article, exactly describing my problem -- and

Is it possible to make a toolbar longer?  My drawing toolbar has plenty of
extra screen space to fit all of those extra "more buttons", but it won't
expand to hold them all.  It just stops part way across the page and then I
have to click the arrow for "more buttons".  Is this ...

I can't seem to be able to import/open clipart from online when using
Firefox.  It says that "clip gallery can only be launched from office".
I've tried saving it to my desktop and then opening and/or importing and
that doesn't work either.  Has anyone found a way around this?

I need a quick reference card that shows items like shortcut keys for
commands, navigation, formatting data, etc.  I don't need a "How To" book or
manual, just the reference guide.  Does anyone know where I can purchase
these?
