I would like to use multiple styles in a single paragraph. This was possible in Word 2004. All it took was selecting a sentence or word in the paragraph and applying the style. This does not seem to work in Word 2008. Any ideas on how to accomplish this>

Using Word 2004, I wanted to modify the 1/a/I style to A)/a)/i)/(1), which I

I created a resume on Word (Office Mac 2004) using my Mac and then
view it using Microsoft Office 2003 on an XP and it crops the page
unexpectedly on Word/XP.  The margins (& Headers/Footers) are the same
when I view the page setting on both my Mac and XP.

So maybe Im a complete idiot.  I don't know where else to ask about this.  I have Mac Office with Word.  I have a resume that Im trying to email out for jobs.  I attach it to my email (I use gmail) and send it but the recipients keep saying they can't open it.  One person told me

I have been plagued by formatting problems in both Word X and Word 2008, which I just upgraded to.  The overview of the problem is as follows: I apply a formatting change intended for one paragraph or one word, and Word applies that formatting change to the entire document. To get

the Prefs to Save As .doc?
