Re: Word 2004 templates behaving strangely

Thanks John so much for all that excellent advice. Using the
instructions in you previous post, I pottered along quite happily on
each of my individual chapters until today, the day before everything
is due (I should say- it's a final draft, rather than the final
submission, but near enough that everything needs to be perfect). This
morning, I started to put the whole thing into one document and -
surprise surprise - Word has had a hissy fit.

I have done so much planning and testing on the PC and hadn't quite
realised that all of that would be entirely redundant once I'd changed
platforms. I think I would have moved hell and high water to find
myself another PC in the first place had I known what a big jump it
was to move the whole thing to my Mac.

For now, I think I will follow your advice and go scurrying back to
the old PC for a couple of days, and take advantage of all of my
careful preparations there. I have spent four years preparing this
document, including crafting the most beautiful of templates so it
will look just right. I am indeed using EndNote, and with 900-odd
footnotes, I don't really want to go looking for the rebellious one at
this stage of the game. That being said, I will continue to need this
material so will be following your instructions to salvage my
documents for the future. I'm so grateful for all of that information!

My name's Anna, by the way. Soon to be Dr Anna, I hope!
