Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) Processor: intel I recently bought Office: Mac 2008, and installed it. When I use word, the spelling checker will not check the main body of the document, however, it will check the footnotes. Using help, I followed the instructions in relation to installing proofing tools, as that was suggested as the root of the problem. Having reinstalled word, the spelling checker will work when I open a new document but it still will not work on any documents that I created before. I tried to copy and paste into a new document but that didn't work either. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

- 1. print on legal paper
I have created a document in MS Word to be printed in landscape mode on legal paper. The print preview looks correct--all appears normal. I have double checked that the layout is in legal, everything!! It prints as if on standard paper and leave a 3-inch gap on one end, cutting of 2 columns of text. HELP!! - 2. Word 2000 takes a long time to open Word X file
Word X template is used to create a new simple text only Word document. The new Word document is opened in Word 2000 under Windows 2000. It takes a long time to open and at the bottom of the screen there is some blurb about virus scan being requested. I have Norton AV 2004 on the Windows 2000 machine, but the wierd thing is that as soon as I click anywhere outside Word 2000 so that it loses focus and then immediately click back on Word 2000 the slow document has now opened. I do not have this problem with Word documents created in Word 2000 and viewed in Word 2000. Any ideas about what is in the Word X created document that is slowing things down? Of course, the Word X created document opens quickly in Word X. Thanks, Michael - 3. Compare Documents - Word won't compare entire document

The font command in the formatting palette has a convenient list of fonts "above the line" which, I imagine, is for frequently used fonts. Is there any way to control which fonts are above the line. A font I use frequently, Verdana, never seems to appear there for new documents, while fonts selected later do appear. Thanks, Neil

In article < XXXX@XXXXX.COM >, Aha! That is the clue! Word associates a language to each style you use in your document. It is all of London to a burnt match that the style used in the body of the document has a language for which you do not have a dictionary. Have a paddle in Formattyles or whatever they call it in 2008 If you are new at this sort of thing, remember that if you don't see a language listed in the style definition, it will have inherited one from one of its ancestors. Wander back up the BASED ON styles. PS Re-installing Word does nothing much except cause hair loss and increased coffee consumption. -- To de-mung my e-mail address:- fsnospam$elliott$$ PGP Fingerprint: 1A96 3CF7 637F 896B C810 E199 7E5C A9E4 8E59 E248

1.Word 2008 Spellcheck problem
Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Processor: Intel Out of the blue, spellcheck now underlines correctly spelled words, and ignores incorrectly spelled words. Does this on new documents. It's is as if the spell check instructions have been reversed. Any idea how to fix?
I am using Word 2007 on Windows XP Home in the UK. I have set every option I can find to make English UK my default language and Dictionary. Often while doing Spell check I find that Word has decided to use English US which means I have no option to save to Dict. and accept US spellings without manually changing Language. Why? and how to stop it? Iain
My spell check doesn't work on MSWord for Mac osx. It keeps telling me the check is complete even if i type in absurd words. It works in Italian but not in English. It was working fine in both languages i tried re-installing them but it didn't help
4.very strange spellcheck problem in Office XP SP3
My Windows XP Language and regional settings are set to English UK. (In fact there is no other option there). My language setting in Word is set to English UK and indeed does default to that when spellchecking a Word document. Outlook is set to use Word as the Email editor, and Tools-Option-Spelling-language is set to English UK. WHY then, when creating a new email, does the spellcheck use *USA* English as default?
The problem I have is that Word sometimes replaces more than just the incorrect word when doing a spell check. For example, This senntence has a typo. When correcting the type in senntence, you will get something like Thistence has a typo. This isn't an exact error, but it is similar. OS is both Windows NT 4 and Windows 2000.
