I am using a MacOS X tieh Microsoft Word 11.3.  When I have a phd file

copy tables and .jpgs, I could just copy and paste them into my
document no problem.  With the Mac version, I seem to be having some

I'm sure this is really basic. Why, when I get a reply to my e-mails,
are the quotation marks and other characters displayed as different
symbols (percent sign, etc.) than those I originally used? Am I using
the wrong font, or is this a translation problem when I e-mail from

Is there a way to delete "Recently Used Symbols".  Just because a symbol was
recently used doesn't mean that it's used often.  I'd rather have only my
commonly used symbols across the bottom of the "Symbol" window.  Thanks for
advice!

I need to make a Word form where people can type in there answers but
not edit the fields in a document.  (Filling out names and addresses
