Mac Forum / Applications / Word / September 2006

I had Microsoft office 2004 installed on a previous computer (emac); I
just purchased a macBook and would like to transfer the application
over to my new computer. How do I do this and maintain registration?
[when I try using the install disk it installs just fine but when I try

I'm wondering whether I need to uninstall and reinstall Office 2004 on
OS X 10.4.7. For a new document based on NORMAL.DOT, the only style
displayed in Word's toolbar  is "Normal." When I open Format>Style, I
see only the following: Default Paragraph Font, No List, Normal, and

This is the sort of basic point that I used to understand, but I'm
obviously getting more stupid in my old age. Please bear with me.
My Normal style currently has a font of Bookman Old Style, 12 point.
I have defined a Quotation style, which is based on Normal, but

Hi,
I found this on <macfixit.com> and I deleted those files because my Word

Hi... I use windows XP and Office 2003 in my office and a powerbook G4
with Office for Mac 2004 at home. I had created a word document at work
and at times edited it at home and haven't had a problem...so far. I
use iDisk to share the files. After my last edit at home I am now

Where can I find Word 2004 templates? I am trying to create some
postcards & I cannot download the ones from Microsoft's website because
that's only for Windows not Mac OS X, Office 2004!

FYI, we are still using Word 2002 here.  Now for my issue, which I'll relate
through the following experiment.  Let's say I have a short Word document
with the following three lines (all in Normal style):

My apologies if this has already been covered somewhere...
I am editing text in Word for Mac and rely heavily on the comments
feature, but cannot seem to get it to function properly in emailed
documents. The comments do not show up when my client opens the heavily

The front part of my client's name is "Laser" and the back part is
"Save". Laser uses ITC Garamond regular. Save uses ultra italic.
I'm running Word X (latest update) in OSX.3.9. When I mix those two
fonts in LaserSave, it prints with what looks like a word space between

I used to use overstriking ( ".\o(x,^)" ) to get special non-English
letters in Word documents.  Now when I do this with "{ EQ \o(x,^) }",
Word thinks it can break the line after the overstrike stuff, even
though another ASCII character immediately follows it.  This means that

When I use the font "Helvetica LT Std Cond Light" (OpenType) together
with an imported picture in the heading the mac crashes (together with
other programs). This only happens with this font and not other
Helvetica fonts like "Helvetica LT Std UltCompressed". Do anybody knows

I have a word document to which I attempted to assign TOC levels to
create an outline.  So, I went to the particular text in the document,
highlighted it, and then selecgted Format>Paragraph>Outline Level and
assigned an outline level (e.g., Level 1, Level, 2 ... Body Text).

Is it possible to save the window properties of the office window on
startup.  For example, I want to set the default size and position of
the window, so whenever I create a new blank document, the window opens
up with my default specs?

This should be easy to remedy, but I can't find the answer in the
"help" guide.
My standard template for Word is now set up to never break words --
i.e., all lines end at the end of a complete word. I'd like to have

I have  just received my first document in what I think is Word's new
XML format and I'd like to read it into Word X on my mac. After
searching these forums for any hints, there are mentions of a converter
program, but the topics were all over a month old so I couldn't reply
