I can't seem to get Word 2008 to set a simple single space between lines.
The default seems to be double spacing, even though the line spacing is
set to single space.
The normal setting in the formatting options creates double spaces

I am looking for a plugin or method to automatically identify "be"
verbs as I type (is, was, are, were, be, being,been) as I type, so I
can make corrections as I go. It wopuld be good if it would just
highlight them on the fly - not something such as search and replace.

I can use Format Painter to apply all of my styles except for the Bullet
Style.  If I use it on my bullet style the style changes.  It would be nice

I am trying to create a customized Table of Contents using two styles,

Which is unfortunate as that would have helped my users who have the
"double-click" problem and would have given them a temporary
"workaround" until this issue was hopefully fixed.
The "12.0" version of Excel is too crash-prone to run without the

I've just switched the Word spell checker to use a UK dictionary - and

I don't know how this happened or what setting I changed, but hitting the tab key no longer indents or changes the bullet it only indents the text. I know that I can hit the indent button on the formatting bar but it is so ...
