I'm getting a message error when opening Word 2004 (or PPT/Excel):
"Unexpected error while trying to load MS Framework Library." This
started happening after I uninstalled Editorium's Editor's
Tool Kit Plus (because it was doing weird things to my documents) and

What 3-letter extension (e.g. ".doc" for Word documents) do I have to
add to clipart packages that I download from Microsoft's Design Gallery
Live website?

I'm writing a textbook, and trying to write the instructor's manual
simultaneously by using a hidden text style for comments to
instructors. Works fine, except that when I have a table that I hide,
the empty grid reappears whenever I save the file. (The text in the

I have been asked to create a continuing ed. class for people who only
know the basics of MS Word. I'm trying to come up with a topic list and
I would like your input. (The class will be probably two sessions.)

Hi All. I am very new to word, and I am hoping that it may be able to
peform an automatic find/change for many choices.

Can anyone help me....when I insert a symbol in Microsoft Word 2004 for
Mac, a small empty box appears instead of the letter/symbol that I
want.  I saw something about character pallete and imput menus, but I
have no idea what all of this means.  I don't know what to do, and the

I used to use my Work menu in Word all the time, but at some point
after I got Word 2004, it stopped working. I found several suggestions
here (and at another group): I'm afraid these solutions don't seem to
work anymore.

Word 2004 for Mac, version 11.2.5. OS X 10.4.7. Macbook, 2G RAM.
I wanted to create a poster, size 22x28 inches. Defined a custom paper
size and used Page Setup with that size "Formatted for Any Printer".
No error message, but the actual page size in Word is only 22x20 inches.

Does anyone know a freeware program wchich convert doc files to pdf?
I'll be grateful for links.

When I select text in my word document, occasionally Word won't let me drag
that text. Instead, it just continues to select the text that my cursor
crosses.  A Microsoft tech once told me to go to my Finder  and remove a
couple items. I think one of them was "Normal". It would work ...

ln Word 2004, I am unable to print mulitple copies of a document at time.  
When I send a print job to the print and tell it to make 2 or more copies, I
still only receive on copy of the document.
I have tried using several different types of printers and with the same

When I select a word, release the clicker, and then try to click and drag
the word, it acts as if I never released the clicker before trying to drag
because it continues to select the words that the arrow is moving across.
And, of course, the originally selected word doesn't drag.

Anyone know how to open a .wps file on a Mac?  I cannot open it with Word or
TextEdit.  Any suggestions?

I have noticed that if you have a document with bullets in it, change
the bullet type and try to hit save, nothing happens until you change
something else and save.  Then it will.
Not sure about why this happens.
