Short: Known bug, fixed in SP 1
Long: Known bug, for which a fix is included in Service Pack 1, which will
be with you in June/July (maybe a little sooner).
Update 12.1.0 (Service pack 1) is in testing now. Assuming that no new bugs
are found, it will release soon. I'm hedging on the dates because it's a
huge and complex service pack with a lot that could go wrong.
Cheers

mac:word removes spaces from documents randomly.

At first I thought it might be an issue with windows:word 07 users and
mac:word 04/08 users working on the same documents; however, I have
had several instances were a mac:word 04/08 document that is created,
edited, saved and re-opened on OSX without interaction with Windows;
has spaces throughout randomly removed.
the sentence: the cow jumped over the moon
becomes: thecowjumped over themoon
I have created two documents, one standard no modified styles and one
with modified styles. Filled the documents with the text:
The cow jumps over the moon.
Passing both documents backwards and forwards to OSX and Windows,
opening, editing and closing and I can't re-create the issue in either
document.
I followed the instructions at http://word.mvps.org/Mac/damagedPrefs.html
for recreating the preferences and repeated the above steps, still
can't re-create the issue. Oddly enough, the words do NOT appear as
misspelt (i.e no red squiggly line) in Windows or OSX. If you manually
preform a spell check they are picked up. This can happen if I author
a document, save it and re-open locally, so I did manage to rule
Windows out of the equation.
There are other users who have the same problem. There just hard to
find as when you google osx/leopard/mac:word and append spaces, you
have to sift through a lot of problems related to spaces itself.
I have two macbook pro laptops, both with installs of 2004, upgraded
to 2008 on them and both suffer the same issues. Neither have been
customised beyond introducing and modifying various styles.
Again as this is random, it is difficult to re-create consistently.
Most annoyingly it is my Windows colleagues that notice it more than
myself and thus leads to slurs of abuse in regards to introducing OSX
into the enterprise ;0
Any help is appreciated.
Versions:
OSX Leopard 10.5.2
mac:word 2008 v12.0.1 (08305)
mac:word 2004
