Re: Styled fonts (bold, italic) not working right on 10.4.1/Word 2004

Matt -

I tried Tiger Cache Cleaner, restarted, and...it worked! The font was
correctly displayed! I was thrilled.

Then I turned off the computer, went to bed, got up, fired up my
computer again...and things were just like before.

In both cases (last night and this morning), opening Word causes a
significant time lag (little clock turns into spinning beach ball for a
while). Last night, after all that thinking, it did things right. This
morning, after all that thinking, it did things wrong. Last night I
figured ³Okay, it¹s rebuilding the deleted cache,² but what was it
doing this morning?

Something is rebuilding the bad links. I have reinstalled the 10.4.1
update and that¹s had no effect. Next I¹m going to try reinstalling
Office. It¹s clear that there¹s a solution out there somewhere, but
evidently it¹s not Tiger Cache Cleaner (at least, not completely) - but
I do appreciate your help. Meanwhile, other ideas are still needed.
