Hello Bill,
Your users could read some notes on the way I use Word for the Mac, titled
"Bend Word to Your Will", which are available as a free download from the
Word MVPs' website (
http://word.mvps.org/MacWordNew/Bend/BendWord.htm).
They started off in 2001 when, screaming, I made the migration from Word
5.1a to 2001. Despite growing in size (the page extent is now about 170
pages) and covering significant changes in Word 2004, the underlying
starting point is still migration from 5.1. ("Bend Word to Your Will"
doesn't cover Word X specifically -- I skipped that version. But that won't
be much of a problem.)
[Note: The document is designed to be used electronically and most subjects
are self-contained dictionary-style entries. Be sure to read the front end
so you can use the document to best advantage and select the right settings
for reading it.]
My work as a management consultant involves constant movement of documents
between Macs and PCs. "Bend Word to Your Will" covers that specifically.
I have yet to meet one person who denigrates Word 5.1 <nostalgic sigh>. But
the world moves on (not necessarily upwards).
Cheers,
Clive Huggan

* A SUGGESTION ‹ WAIT FOR CONSIDERED ADVICE: If you post a question, keep
re-visiting the newsgroup for several days after the first response comes
in. Sometimes it takes a few responses before the best or complete solution
is proposed; sometimes you'll be asked for further information so that a
better answer can be provided. Good tips about getting the best out of
posting are at

and it gives you a blank page the first time, you may need to hit the
circular arrow icon -- "Reload the current page" -- a few times).
* AND ONE MORE ‹ AVOID SPAM: To avoid spam directed at contributors of
newsgroups, you can set up a "send-only" dummy e-mail account. Full
