I'm using Mac Word 2008, and use the track-changes and commenting features extensively. When I exchange documents with Windows users (specifically Word 2002 SP3) we've discovered that accepting all changes in a document and then saving it in Windows makes some comment bubbles disappear,

I can't seem to figure out how to permanently change the font default. No matter what I try, every new Word document I open up opens with Cambria as the font. Any tips?

I've tried publishing layout, creating sections and changing every margin/footer setting I can think of to no avail. My printer is capable of borderless printing but Word 2008 insists on leaving an ugly 3.5cm of white space at the bottom of the printed page even though my bottom margin

I installed 2008 easily enough but must have selected an incorrect option for Entourage. I use comcast and have some messages on that server. The new Entourage transferred all existing folders and messages plus created a new main account. That account is receiving new messages plus

I added a picture, but it refuses to align itself toward the top where I want it

I can¹t seem to get the tool bars to line up properly in Word 2004. When I
go to ŒCustomize Toolbars¹ there are lots of options to check, but when I
check them each one comes up separately and sits wherever it comes up on the
screen...when I move it to the top where the other stuff ...

Once in a while a document in word opens with a message that the file is corrupted. Continuing to try and open the file results in garbage. Is there a way of recovering the file that has for some reason been corrupted?

I have not been able to find the same quick styles available in Word 2008 as I am often required to use for class assignments that are available in Word 2007. In Word 2007 quick style sets including Traditional, Manuscript, Word 2007, etc. are available, but I have not found these

I just upgraded to Word 2008... so far really frustrated.
Running MacBook Pro with OS 10.4.11. Install went perfectly. I use Apple Mail. (my isp is Comcast)

I have a client who complained today that they couldn't open any of my documents. I have been saving with the compatibility
