Re: Word 2004 bug: hyphens that don't break

Send me a sample of one of those documents. I need to see what character
codes are actually landing in the text. I had a similar problem myself,
without any non-English languages or fonts involved, so I am chasing this
one.

Put the password "90@p10g2000cwp" in the subject line or you'll get dumped
by my firewall, and attach the sample as a Word .doc.

Cheers

You might have a look at the Word language and Mac keyboard language
settings on your machine. The bizarre format of your news posting
from
your 'vBulletin USENET gateway' makes me suspect that not all is
well.
(I see little forward delete symbols where I'd expect line ends in
your
post. Not everyone will see it that way. It looks fine in Google
Groups.)

Dunno where you got the funny colors from. I just typed my reply into
the box on macosx.com in Safari.

Keyboard is US extended; Word language setting is English US. But it
doesn't change if I assign a different language, either.
