Mactopia Digest has been hi-jacked by spammers in my Inbox

[May]

instead of the normal digest, this arrived in my Inbox today. There are two spams mixed in with what looks like a genuine digest item. Can you tell me how to stop such spam coming in on the back of your digests? If not I shall have to shut the digest off altogether.

Here's what came in:

This is a digest of messages posted to: Word <http://www.officeformac.com/?/&gt <http://www.officeformac.com/?/&gt>; .

click italics, bold

I used to be able to simply click once anywhere in a word, rather than select the entire word, and hit bold or italics to bold or italicize that word. I've recently upgraded to Word 2008 and this function is no longer working. I prefer not to set my preference to click to select the entire word (and never had this preference set in the past). Does anyone know whether there is a setting to get back my click once and bold / italics ability?

kindest regards,
alan.

EMail Merge with Office 2008

This is a repeat posting from the Entourage Board:

Last Spring, I had no problems doing an email merge using the document from
Word, addresses from Excel and Entourage as my mailer.

However, I just went to do one now, and the email option no longer seems to
exist. When I go into Mail Merge Manager and get the pop-up dialogue box,
there's no longer any option for email when I'm asked for a document type. I
did have that option a few months ago.

Does anyone know what happened or if my Word somehow got corrupted? I did
have a new hard drive installed last month and I had to restore all my
programs and documents via Time Machine. Entourage is my default email
application.

Any thoughts or alternatives would be greatly appreciated.

Can you tell me how to stop such spam coming in on the back of your

I'll pass this along to my contacts at Microsoft.

Do keep in mind that the Microsoft forums are just a web front-end to
the Usenet newsgroups, which are not run by Microsoft. While this
problem is their responsibility you should report this directly to
Microsoft and not post problems about their forums here.

You can subscribe to this newsgroup via the Entourage newsreader. Since it
shows up as regular email, it's easier to not view the spam. Microsoft is
working on removing the spam and making it harder for them to post it.
