Word 2008 Weirdness... Please help

It seems that Word is 1.5 or double spacing everything when I have single-space selected. Did not happen in Word 04.
Anyone experience this? Thanks

Since Word is not an Apple product, you'll want to post your question on Microsoft's own forums for their Office:Mac products:

  • ***Microsoft Word 2008 Question*** PLEASE HELP

    you know the spell-check feature in Word08? How do I change to spell-check language?

    Hi There
    In the Microsoft Word Preferences select "Spelling and Grammar" then Click on the Dictionaries button on the right side of the window. You will then see a "Custom Dictionaries" Window, just underneath the blank space there is Language drop down box, change this to your desired language.
    You must do this on a New blank document for it to be the default for all new documents. For documents that you have already saved you may need to go and change them all.
    Hope this helps

  • My pages is showing error while opening a document in microsoft word format. Please help

    While trying to open documents in microsoft word format, pages is showing an error. It is unable to complete the task and is requesting me to reopen pages but then no response. However I am able to work on pages format. Please help.
    thanks

    When you open a Word document in Pages, it is translated into the internal .pages document format — and you are no longer working in the original Word document format. This translation also occurs in reverse when exporting a document back to Word. When you open a Word document in Pages, if it has issues with the translation (missing font characteristics, other issues), it will open a warning dialog box and display these issues for you.
    If however, you prefer to always work in the native Word document format, and not risk translation issues, then you should be using MS Word in Office for Mac 2011 with the latest update.

  • Dock acting really weird - Please help!

    After installing the Mobile ME update and iTunes 7.7, my dock has been acting really weird.
    1. I usually set the default dock size at the smallest possible. However, now when you left click on the separator of folders and applications, it allows the dock to become smaller than possible when setting from the Preference Pane
    2. The dock automatically becomes smaller over time until the icons are really tiny.
    Is this a bug encountered by anyone else? It really bugs me that I have to keep pulling the dock to a standard size. Can someone please help me out of this mess?

    Hey VK
    Thanks for the quick response.
    I did just that. Deleted the com.apple.dock.plist under my user home directory/Library/Preferences.
    While it reset the dock, the problem still remains. You can view the problem by
    1. Setting the dock to the smallest possible size via the Preference Pane
    2. Turn on magnification and bring it closer to the left side of the adjustable bar
    3. Now, use your mouse to drag the dock by the separator
    Observation: The dock will become smaller than is "set" by the bar in Preference Pane
    4. Click on the bar in the preference pane, set at small, the dock will resize itself again
    5. Choose the dock to be set on the right
    6. Choose it to be set at bottom
    Observation: The dock is a LOT smaller than it could ever have been.
    7. Click on the smallest possible size in the preference pane, the dock resizes itself
    8. The dock keeps getting smaller over time still. =(!

  • Cannot convert Word to PDF - please help?

    Hi I am running Windows XP, Office 2003 and Acrobat Writer 5.
    I've had the same setup for five years and have always been able to covert Word documents to PDF like this:
    File/print - then I select Acrobat PDF writer from the list of printers, and click "print to file" and it's done.
    I've created thousands of PDFs in this way. I've also reformatted my hard drive and re-installed all the same programs again, and always been able to print to PDF.
    Last week I again reformatted my hard drive, and re-installed all the same programs that I have always had. I have changed nothing, absolutely nothing about the setup of the computer.
    However, NOW when I click file/print from Word, there is no longer Acrobat PDF writer listed!
    And so I cannot convert to PDF.
    Can anyone please tell me how to get Acrobat back into my list of "printers"?
    Thanks

    As I recall, Acrobat Distiller and Acrobat Writer are 2 different print drivers available with AA5. The Writer is not installed by default and is not recommended. It was almost not included with AA5 as I recall. It is no longer included with any distribution. The Acrobat Distiller printer (now renamed as the Adobe PDF printer) is the preferred method of printing with AA5. This latter process creates a PS file and then (using AcroTray running in the background) calls Distiller to complete the conversion from the PS file to the final PDF file. There are several options available under the list of settings. These can be set in the Acrobat Distiller printer properties and generally override the settings in Distiller. You can further make changes for the current printing in the printer properties menu of your current application.
    Hope that helps explain what you have found. I still have AA5 running on XP. I also have a newer reader installed because of the limitations of reading some of the newer PDF files with AA5. I try to be careful with how I use Reader and AA5 as they can cause conflicts in what is used to open a PDF, and that is why this configuration is not recommended.

  • Images Problem in Firefox -- very weird -- please help!

    Hi all, I need your help here with ideas...
    I have built a site that is 100% Flex, full size.  It uses images in two different ways: Image controls and HTML text.  Both are populated dynamiccally from XML resources.
    In IE, these all work perfectly.  But I get some very weird behavior in Firefox.
    I have a list with a custom item renderer using Images.  When the user clicks on the list, a pop-up Canvas is displayed with the same image and an Text area with htmlText in-line Images. In Firefox, these images do not populate -- neither the table nor inside the text -- but the text shows perfectly, even spaced around where the image would be.
    But elsewhere in the application, I have an Image control populated the same way, except driven by a datagrid selection, and that one WORKS FINE.  I also have other Text areas using htmlText, populated the same way, and the in-line Images work great there in Firefox. 
    What is going on???

    I think I figured it out.
    The slashes in the image paths went the wrong direction. \ in stead of /
    Apparently, this is no problem for IE, but chokes Firefox.  Keep an eye out.

  • Problems in indexing MS word document. Please help!

    Hi
    I'm using oracle 8.1.6 on solaris 5.7
    I stored a MS word document in a table as a internal blob.
    The word document contains one line:
    "This is test word document." Then I indexed it with inso_filter preference. I created a log file during indexing. The log file showed thatb there was no document indexed. Here was what I did:
    ===============================================================
    --Create preference

    fils := BFILENAME('FILEDIR','test.doc');
    SELECT text INTO lobd FROM test WHERE id = 1 FOR UPDATE;
    dbms_lob.fileopen(fils, dbms_lob.file_readonly);
    dbms_lob.loadfromfile(lobd, fils, dbms_lob.getlength(fils));
    COMMIT;

    Hi, Omar:
    I tried use SQL*Loader to load the word document. Part of the loader logging reads as following:
    Table TEST:
    1 Row successfully loaded.
    0 Rows not loaded due to data errors.
    0 Rows not loaded because all WHEN clauses were failed.
    0 Rows not loaded because all fields were null.
    Space allocated for bind array: 6720 bytes(64 rows)
    Space allocated for memory besides bind array: 0 bytes
    Total logical records skipped: 0
    Total logical records read: 1
    Total logical records rejected: 0
    Total logical records discarded: 0
    ================================================================
    It seems that the file was sucessfully loaded into the database. Then I created index using the procedure I posted on this thread. I checked the table ctx_user_index_errors.
    select * from ctx_user_index_errors;
    the returns are:
    ERR_INDEX_NAME ERR_TIMES

  • Font of text comes out different to my original MS Word fonts? Please Help!!

    When I create (print PDF) the text comes out in a different font to what I used on the MS Word document I PDF'd? My text in the word document was font "Academy" but when I made this a PDF the text is in another standard style font? How can I keep the Academy font in the PDF? Thanks.

    Did you embed it (check the fonts under the document properties to see if embedded) or are you looking at it on another machine? What versions of WORD and Acrobat, as well as OS?

  • I would like to know what application I should use for this specific job.  I have 6 photos in Iphoto, and I would like to print them out on one piece of paper with the title and key words showing.  Please help.

    My objective is to print photos on on 8 1/2 x 11 sheets of paper (4 per page).  I want to include the photo title and the photo key words.
    I am not sure how to go about doing this.

    In iPhoto, create an album with the images you want to print.
    Once created, open the album and select all the images (type Command + A)
    Go to the menu View and make sure Titles and Keywords are checked.
    Go to the menu File > Print
    Choose Contact Sheet
    In the lower right corner press the customize button
    In the next window that opens, at the bottom of the window change the column slider to "2"
    You should be good to go. If OK, then press Print at the bottom right corner of the window.

  • Keynote 6 cannot import the old Keynote 4 (2008) files, please help

    Dear all,
    I notice that Keynote 6 (current) cannot import files created with the old Keynote 4 (2008).
    On the other hand, Keynote 4 is obsolete and I no longer trust it for mefdion/long term use.
    I have >100 critical files, yet using simple functions (no audio/video/animations).
    I prefer not to insytall Keynote 5, think about the mess of having 3 KN versions installed.
    Does anybody know a workaround?
    Thank you.

    The current consensus is to use Keynote 5.3 (iWork 09) for files created with previous versions of Keynote as older files do not open successfully in 6.1. New presentations can then be created in 6.1 if you want to use it.
    I suggest you obtain iWork 09, available from Amazon and Ebay, and you can remove version 4.
