correctly.

Just bought Office 2008, can someone please direct me to where I change the setting so that new documents open as A4 size instead of Letter size?

Seems like there's a problem with copying text from a document open in Word 2008 into another program, like, say, Dreamweaver. (The clipboard behaves as if it's empty.) Since this is something I do about a hundred times a day, it's an deal-breaking flaw in what is otherwise a ...

Since upgrading to Word 2008, the readability statistics in Spelling & Grammar have been a total mess -- most of the time, it gives any document a 100 percent score and a very low grade level. Is this a known bug, or is there a workaround?

When I attempt to create a keyboard shortcut for inserting a bookmark I can't find the command in the "insert" category - although "insertfootnote," "insertcrossreference," "insertendnote," "insertfield" etc exist. Did Microsoft forget to code for this in the new version? Seems I ...
