Problems with this product...

[gearna]

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

I discovered this problem about a month ago but worked around it.. I forgot it was a problem until last night when I went to print out an assignment for uni (much to my horror)

If I save a document (in any format- .docx or .doc) and then open it on a PC at uni to print (using office2008) - it magically removes spaces in between selected words. "kindalike this whichas you can imaginewas completely inconvenientat 9pmlast night" and the worst is it doesnt underline these "new" words with a red line...

In addition to that problem these are also a number of other annoying things with word:

1. The auto-correct does not always work; and
2. The spell check regularly underlines words that are not mis-spelt (only removing the line if I right click).

Do you think it is just a software flaw with my product? Can I return it?!

Have you updated the program? I believe that this known issue of missing
spaces was fixed with one of the updates--Office should now be at
12.1.2. Run Help | Check for Updates at least twice, until it reports
no updates.

I have also seen your #2--but I've never seen #1, and I am a very heavy
AutoCorrect user.
