Hi, I've been searching over in the Mac forums, around here, and elsewhere on
the web and can't seem to find any comprehensive resources to help see the
differences between Word 2008 & 2007, and how things will port over
effectively. Any docs and good sites would be greatly appreciated.
We are designing some fairly standard overview documents for a school in
Word 2008 on Mac. Some of the new Publishing View features are very helpful
to setting this up nicely (we would usually prefer an actual page layout
program). But these will eventually need to be updated and edited by our
client using Word 2007 on a PC.
I had read a couple posts suggesting that Word 2008 & 2007 'should' be
pretty compatible.
BUT, I did some preliminary setup of a document in Word 2008, then opened it
in a trial version we have of Word 2007 on our PC and I can't find some of
the basic features:
- Where are the master pages?
- How do I view my guides that I had setup to define column widths and other
layout alignments?
- Why aren't the text frames appearing to link properly (it almost looks
like it split the text into the two frames)?
Etc.
If anyone knows of any good resources that describe the differences, it
might be VERY helpful. I tried searching the help file for 'Master Pages' and
got all sorts of completely unrelated topics...
THANKS!!!
