Differences between v.X and 2008

[dodgerdog]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: intel

I'm a former user of an earlier Word version. In the older version, v.X, I was able to double click a word to highlight it. That doesn't seem to work in 2008. Am I missing something?

Also, in v.X I could see the line I was at in the bottom, along with page number and word count. I don't know how to see the line I'm at in 2008. Again, what am I missing?

You are probably trying to run Word in Spaces or Expose. Word 2008 is not
compatible with either -- we are waiting for a bug fix.

The line count was removed from the Status Bar (because it is usually
meaningless in a proportional-type, dynamically-paginating application).

Use Help>Send Feedback to tell Microsoft if you want it back
