Mac Forum / Applications / Word / June 2008

Word recently crashed and since then I have not been able to work with the
program. When I launch Word and by pass the Project Gallery I get the
default blank document. I can not type in this document and Word's menus and
toolbars do not function either.

i have two huge lists of autocorrect entries that are formatted as
tables, with the "abbreviation" in the first column and the expanded
text in the second column. the first list has about 7500 entries, the
second list 27000 entires, and each list is a separate word document.

no, then it stops and Word is dead. I had to remove Word and reinstall
it fresh - with no update it seems to be fine.  But it would be ...

I have a Word doc that is 624 KB but only one page long.
Any idea as to why it might be so large? There don't appear to be any
images in it.

I have word for mac in the student edition and I recently updated the program. After this update I can not longer directly open a word file from the desktop. I can however go into File, then Open and select the document there and it will open. How do I fix this ...

I notice that under Word 2008 the default file format is now .docx, not
.doc.
Can Windows users open the files seamlessly, or is it better tochange
the Prefs to Save As .doc?

I am looking to use an ISO 690 (or IEEE) Reference format; however, I
was disappointed to find that Word 2008 only supports Chicago, APA,
MLA, or Turabian.  After some reading, I have determined that Word
