I can't figure out how to stop all the foreign language fonts from showing up at the bottom of my Office font menus. I've tried to delete them from everywhere: System > Library > Fonts, User > Library > Fonts, etc., but they persist. I don't want these files using any

In order to save vertical space while working on a MacBook Pro, how can
I hide the Word 2008 toolbar (if that's the official name for it) where
Document Elements, Quick Tables, Charts, etc., appear?
Thank you,

Every time Word 2008 opens or comes from hiding, without an active document,

I have a problem when opening files created in office 2001 with office
2004, the graphics in some of the imported figures loow much lower

I have a Word document that I use for planning every week that works fine in Mac Office 2004 and Windows Office 2007. Now that I have upgraded to Mac Office 2008 certain cells in the table of the document are not automatically expanding downwards with the text; the text just seems

Is it possible toremove ALL hyperlinks in a document in a single step?
So far, all I've been able to find is a way to do them one by one.
