Mac Forum / Applications / Word / June 2007

I use Word to write novels and I'm thinking about upgrading to a
MacBook. I currently use a 2004 iBook, with 1.25 gig of RAM, a 1.2
PowerPC processor, and Word for Mac v.X, and I find documents with a
word count over 50,000 freeze, crash and slow Word. But most novels

Hi, I'm new to MACs, so bear with me.  All my word documents open in a
window that is less than half the size of my screen and I'm going
blind.  How do I change that?

Everytime I try to change formatting, on anywhere on ANY document, MS

he's in need of help ASAP. :))

so that the title bar is completely off-screen (not just behind
toolbars). Quitting/reopening Word sometimes fixes it, but it keeps
happening.

I am used to using Word 2007 where you can create a spreadsheet
directly in word without having to do so outside and insert it. It is

Is it possible to retrieve an unsaved document somewhere in the bowels of my
computer?

If I created a doc in the test drive program before I installed the
Windows products can I access this document after the test drive

I had an issue with Microsoft office 2004 for mac and I thought I
would share it with everyone here.  When the user tried to save or
save as any document in word, excel or powerpoint , office would lock

It sounds simple, but it's not. I want to go through all my documents
stored in Word - throw some out, organize others in files. But there
is no obvious way to do this. Can somebody please walk me through how
to toss out old files stored in Word?

Not sure if this is a file permissions issue but while spell checking
a doc I no longer can add words to my personal dictionary file.  The
"Add" button never is highlighted when a misspelled word is
encountered.
