Hello Gráinne,
You've landed in a discussion group for users of Mac versions of Word (not
your fault: it's a charming foible of Microsoft's "discussions" web
interface, which I see you used). Mac versions differ variously from PC
versions. Although several people here use both PCs and Macs and may give
you an answer soon, it's likely that more people in a PC group have
experienced your specific problem. Here's where all the groups are listed:

follow-on responses to those regions can be delayed)
