So what is this new "compatability mode" that's next to the document name at the top of the window? Anyone know? It's not in the help menu, and I don't like it there. I can't figure out how to get rid of it. I've set up preferences not to make compatibility checks, but that ...

When im working in word it suddenly doesn´t answer. When I try to restart ii everything works fine for a while but just for a couple of minutes.

Just about every time I want to do a Find/Replace I want it to be
Current Document All. Is there a way to make Word default to that

Current Document Down every so often, and I practically never want that.

I have a 160 page document that will not allow a range of pages to print properly. I want to be able to keep all of the information together. Any suggestions?

When i try to open the files, Word opens it, but there is no text there. Please help and quick! I need these files to graduate!!!

never scripted Word before, the object model looks rather...complicated.
All I want is the selected text in an AppleScript string, sans
formatting, without supporting multiple/discontinuous selections. Kind
of the equivalent of the follwing:

I need to reduce the size of a two-page Word document to less than 200KB. There are no images or special formats, but the document is ~350KB. I believe that my normal template has exploded in size (almost 600KB); will reducing this help me? How do I do this?
Thanks,

Is there any way to get the citation tool to recognize that you used the same source before and then insert Ibid. or Ibid. Pg.#? Or to use Author, Title pg# after you've entered the full citation once? Or does this all have to be done by hand?

In Word 2004, when you set up Preferences, they became the default (e.g., removing some of the autocorrect features, choosing your toolbar items, choosing the default font for Normal). Now, every time I open a document for the first time or start a new one, it goes back to the ...
