Mac Forum / Applications / Word / January 2008

The readability statistics in my Office 2008 seem to be incorrect. I am using OS 10.5.1 (Leopard) on a Poerbook G4.

I am running Office 2008 for Mac. I cannot place my cursor where I need it to be. When I go to place it, it is way out of line with the text. ANy suggestions would be appreciated.

When I go to open up a new blank document on Word it does not open up an actual blank document...instead it opens up the first file I ever saved on Word. The most annoying part is that the first file I saved has a bunch of unusual text boxes, so I have to do a bunch of formating each

When I click on toolbox, the entire document disappears and I must click on the Word icon in the dock to make the document reappear. Any suggestions?

Thanks

and I HAVE installed the proofing tools. The Language option in the Tools menu is dimmed no matter what I try.

When Word 2008 catches a grammar error, it no longer offers an explanation via the Office Assistant of Word 2004 or the "Explain" button of Word 2007. It just gives you a quick view of the error. Where are the explanations? Will Microsoft fix this? I feel ripped off.

My wife is having problems with formatting in Word. She tells me that when she highlights text for applying font/formatting attributes, the formatting is applied to the entire page. When she used the undo command, the attributes revert back to the text that she originally highlighted.

Hi!
When i set my langage option on french my grammar and spelling doesn't work!

There's a message saying that the programm does't find de french file!

Does the custum dictionnary include french?

Thanks!

the Toolbox has three icons that look like books. Should I ever remember
which is which it will be by their position rather than looks.
Unfortunately you can neither add captions as in Cocoa toolbars nor
remove some of them. Like the Reference Tools which I find very useless.

In 2004 Word, you could open your own template or create one and save it. When I went to open the new Word, there were no templates. Do they need to be down loaded?

I am writing a play and I want more screen space top to bottom.  How do I
maximize this space...removing or shrinking dock at bottom..or ... Shrinking
menua at the top?  How do I do this?
Thanks,

I'm using MacBook with Office 2008 for Mac.

I saved a document as .doc and .docx on Word 2008 for Mac, to print it out in my college. In case one didn't work I would have a backup.

In my case both documents could be opened in my college which uses MS Word 2003 on Win XP. So

I centered my cursor and typed three quick asterisks to show a scene break in a novel, it showed up as dashed black across the screen. How do I delete it?

I haven't yet purchased Office 2008, but I likely will in the future.  I do
have a question about the new features in Word that allow page layout.
At work, I use Microsoft Publisher for Windows to create our school
newsletters.  How close to this program does the new page-layout ...

Expose doesn't display the highlight boxes properly in Word.
