I just received my new computer and Office 2008 a couple days ago and my spell/grammar check is not picking up my missed spelled words. I will intentionally miss spell words to see if it will work, but it does ...

All of a sudden I'm getting this error message when I try to spell
check:

This is an odd one. Attempting to insert an image using the "Insert ->
Picture -> From File" menu option *always* fails for me ("This

I find the Work Menu to be very helpful. It is certainly obvious and easy enough to add items to the Work Menu in Word 2008. However, the key combination to remove an item from the Work Menu that was to be used in Word 2004 to remove an item does not seem to function with Word 2008.

I took a Word file from a PC to my Mac, OS 9. I am trying to replace 2
carriage returns (^p ^p ) with a page break (^m) . I paste 2 carriage
returns in the find function and it can find 2 carriage returns. But
in the replace function, the find button thinks the 2 carriage returns

Hi,
