Two problems. In both cases these are functions that worked fine in Office 2004 but are broken in Office 2008:
1. Tabs do not always work consistently in the headers of the handout view. In particular, center tabs do not center a line of text.
2. After formatting a handout header, saving the file & reopening, the format of handout headers changes, usually to a single type style. For example, I might italicize the first line, bold the second line & leave the third line in plain text. After saving & reopening the file, the entire header will be in bold italics. I could understand if the header was limited to a single type style but this was not the case in office 2004. This problem is particularly annoying because the program usually crashes after creating a pdf of the handout (see separate post) & when I reopen the file, I have to reformat the header.
I have reported both as bugs.
As an educator, I create many handouts with specific titles - the several defects in Office 2008 are becoming very irritating (not to say an increase in time spent on tasks that should be straightforward) to the point where I may simply revert to office 2004, in order just to get work done.
