How did you "clear the fonts" and what does that mean? I am having the same
problem as you were. And is everything still working ok? Thanks.
Open the font book under edit to to "resolve duplicates"
And sorry, no. Word continues to fail and the problem as drifted into Excel
over the past week!. I have tried removing, reinstalling Office 2008,
checking the disk and permissions using the Snow Leopard install DVD and the
full suite of recommendations that people have offered in these forums and
elsewhere on the web. (I've even gone back and forth in this process with
clean uninstalls and clean reinstalls in both 32 and 64-bit mode. No
improvement.)
As the problem persists and is expanding to other Office software I am
facing the grim reality of having to migrate to iWork or OpenOffice -- a
choice I do NOT want to make for a number of obvious reasons, but at least it
allows me to edit documents without failing more often than not. If I could
stay with MS Office 08 I would do so as I already have a large time and money
investment in the software but last week I crossed the tipping point of MS O
being an asset and a liability.
