Really sorry to create the initial confusion. I thought Sally had a dual processor G5. But obviously she now has something different. There is mention of this problem at http://www.officeformac.com/ms/ProductForums/Word/2486/0 but no apparent fix so far. I will forward all the responses

Hi Daniel, I agree that the G5 normally refers to the PPC processor G5. But in this case Tim's original email said Sally's computer is running OS X 10.6.2, so it has to be an Intel Apple Computer G4! Cheers, Ronni On 07/03/2010, at 3:44 PM, Daniel Kerr wrote: Hi Severin (and Ronni) You

Hi Tim You could also get her to try running Word under a new test user to see if it does the same thing. As Neil mentioned, it may be her copy of Word, that is causing some problems (or preferences). If it prints fine under a new user, then there is something in her User account that is causing

Hi Aurora, I'm very curious about the Enjo idea -- sounds like a great idea if it works. For quick cleaning, I use isopropyl alcohol (99.7% pure isopropanol/propan-2-ol, not the 70% rubbing alcohol). You can buy a spray pack for $10 at electronics stores. You don't have to turn off the computer

Hi Tim, That forum post sounds similar but, in fact, is specifically related to Word 2008 - the first reply notes that it WASN'T a problem in Word 2004 but WAS a problem in Word 2008 and the next reply says it is (or was in April 2008) a known bug. So, assuming that Sally is still running Word
