I want to keep new headings within a document with the text that follows. In other words, i do not want a page break after a new heading.

Dear all, I recently bought a Mac and am running the Beta version of Office for Mac 2008. I am having major compatibility issues when I email files created on my Mac to a Windows PC (I always save as standard .doc, not .docx). When you try to open the file in Windows it comes out

Word 2008, Mac OS 10.4.11 (Tiger)
After a loud public outcry, the MacBU mercifully introduced an option
to turn off display of the rather intrusive "AutoCorrect smart
button", the one with the red/yellow lightning bolt.

Is there any way to lock only part of a document so that there is a consistent section that can not be formated or edited but so the body of text can be changed?

When I open a .doc file in Word, the title bar displays "Compatibility
mode". I understand that this means that certain features of Word 2008
are not available because it is not .docx. Can anyone tell me what
features are not available?

As revealed in the Paste options button, formatting of pasted text
defaults to "Keep Source Formatting". The other two options available
to those willing to use the intrusive, time-consuming Paste options
button are "Match Destination Formatting" and "Keep Text Only".

After the 11.4.2 update, release May 13th, when I get emails in
Entourage with Word docs attached, they have a generic document icon
and if you double-click them, they don't open with Word, they try to
open with OpenOffice.  Plus you don't have the option to pick an app

List members:

which are fairly good at indexing long documents. I don't see these
plug-ins on the MS site, nor on a Google search. I'd appreciate any

I just installed the newest update to MS Word 2008 for Mac and I now have a problem.

Help -- I can no longer use the bullet and indent functions on Word without
bulleting, numbering the whole document. If I use the bullet function and the
whole document goes bulleted then hit Apple+Z the bit I want bulleted is
bulleted and the rest is as it was, but it's a very ...

After the most recent update from Microsoft, I started having the following
problem: Whenever I close any document, even a brand new one that hasn't been
saved, Word "encounters an unexpected problem and needs to close."  The error
report is quite long, and I don't know which part ...

Hello, I have a Word document that I use daily.  It is not, and has never
been, linked to a data source.  However, last Friday I began receiving the
message, "Opening this will run the following SQL command"  "Data from your
database will be placed in the document"  "Do you want ...

When opening the AutoCorrect panel in order to add a new entry, the
focus (i.e., the cursor) is not on the Replace field, as it was in
previous versions of Word. You now have to click or tab into the
Replace field before you can start writing. This effectively adds a
