I seem to notice a correlation between seeing the spinning beach ball more often after launching MS Word for OSX. I removed the PDFMaker.Lib and this improved the performance a great deal, but still noticing the SBB more often after launching Word. Anyone know about this?

- 1. 11.4.0 update from 2/12/2008
I downloaded and installed the latest update (11.4.0) for Office 2004 and afterward noticed that my hard drive was very noisy. I then got a message that my hard drive was full. I shut my MacBook down and restarted it. I then went to Finder and saw that I had only 828.9MB of space left. This is a brand new MacBook with a 160GB drive on it. Before downloading and installing this update, I had over 102GB of free space. What has Microsoft Office done with all of my disk space? I'm new to Macs so how can I find the files that would be taking up all of this space? I'd appreciate any input on this. thank you, Robert - 2. How do you change the font size when printing emails in Entourage?
I want to change the size of the font when printing an email. When I look at the preference options for Entourage, there is an option under font that changes the size and type of font used when printing. No matter what I do, the printout does not change. It seems I cannot change the default size and font. - 3. Installing Fonts
I understand that there are some font issues as to Office 2008 replacing old fonts. This question is different. I can't seem to install a font and have office see it. I have a font called pasdenom, a ttf font. I install it via font book (and also manually) and it does not show up in my drop down fonts list. When I use format fonts replace font it does show up. On my other computer it will not show up at all in office, but I can see it in font book and using another app, Photoshop CS3 I can use it. I am using Office Home and Student Edition - 4. Duplex printing in Word 2004 and Leopard
I bought a new iMac with Leopard installed. Although not computer savy, I then installed a new HP LaserJet P2015d & Office:mac 2004 (student & teacher edition).<br> When I want to print via Safari or Firefox, I'm given the option to print 'two-sided'. However, in Word, this option does not appear in the print popup box.<br> Does anyone know why? Is there a way to remedy this situation?<br> Thank you.<br> HMB - 5. Footnote
Yep. Put the cursor in a footnote. Then Format | Style. Footnote Text should already be selected. Click on Modify--make sure "add to template" is CHECKED, and "automatically update" is UNCHECKED. Change the size to 10pt, click OK, click CLOSE. _____________ Is there a way to change the default font size for footnotes in Word? My default size is 12, which is too large for a footnote.

Many Word issues are related to corrupt Word Settings or Normal Template. You could try removing the Word Settings file, then testing. The Normal Template could be renamed, then test. Be sure Word is closed before removing or changing any files. You could also consider running the Remove Office utility and reinstalling Office X completely.

1.Spinning beach ball of death in word 2004 and OS X 10.4.2
Hi, It happens quite often, that Word 2004 (SP2) on OS X Tiger locks up for several minutes and sometimes longer. I can't say why and when it happens because almost everything can provoke it. Just changing to another font or sending a document to print can result in a spinning beach ball of death. It's really annoying. I have deleted com.microsoft.Word.plist inside ~Library\Preferences but unfortunately it didn't solve the problem, so what can I do? -- Regards Madsen
2.Word and excel constantly giving me 10 - 30 seconds spinning beach balls
Leopard 10.5.4, Word 12.1.2 (2008), 4 GB, fairly new machine 2.6GHz Intel. Just doing simple things like selecting menus, copy small amounts of text, going from one word document to another word document, I am constantly getting a spinning beach ball that lasts 10 - 30 seconds. This seems to happen in both Word and Excel. What gives? I tried Excel 2004 and did not have this problem at all with the same document.

5.Entourage 2004, Exchange 2003, OS 10.4.2 - spinning ball of frustration
YES and this is so frustrating. i have tried turning off everything and am near giving up on the combo of Entourage + OS X for this very reason. i lose 30 seconds out of every minute to that damn spinning ball. i could tear off the monitor of my laptop sometimes waiting to finish my sentence in an email. i have tried turning off everything possible and it still occurs, even in the background when i am using other applications sometimes. i have no idea what to do??!!!! using a PB 1GHz with OS X 10.4.2 and Ent2004. for reference this did NOT happen before upgrade to 10.4 - which is annoying because i don't use any of the new features and hate Spotlight, which is probably the cause of this. any thoughts welcome please. bg deckman wrote: > I'm using Entourage 2004 on OS X 10.4.2 and am connecting to an account > on Exchange 2003 on a Dual G5 2GHz. > > I've told Spotlight not to index my Microsoft User Data folder, but I > am getting the spinning ball in Entourage on a regular basis and it's > very frustrating.
