Folks,
The mystery computer is a MAC pro desktop with 2 x 2.66 ghz dual core
intel Xeon.
Sally's fleshware is currently lacking adequate memory and data
processing capacity to implement the excellent suggestions made so
far. She has tried an external plug in, but found the bottle
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

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 Tim,
I agree with Daniel, try running Word in a New User Account.
I think I would:
1. UN-install M$ office using their Uninstall tool
2. Then empty the trash
3. Restart her Mac ... whatever it is ;-)
4. Install Rosetta
5. Install office
6. Update Office
7. Restart her Mac

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

Hi Tim,
Not sure about the HP 8000 laser, but I have just tried creating a
text box with shadow on Word 2008 (Mac) which printed OK on a Brother
HL-1430. Whether it is the HP driver which is the problem I am not
sure, and I assume she has the latest driver on her Mac. The best way
would be for
All,
Thanks for the tips so far.
Sally has provided me with two documents, her original Word file
showing a nicely set up shadow box, and a PDF of the same document
showing a yukky text box with shadow of the text inside the text box.
I have created a PDF accessible for viewing at
Hi Tim,
Trying your printer on Sally's machine would be the way to go, it should then
sort out if it is her operating system or her G5.
One thing Sally could try is to re-install OS X 10.6 from the OS X 10.6 Install
Disc, (she won't loose anything, re-installing OS X 10.6 does an 'Archive

Hi Severin,
The Mac Pro G5 is Intel: http://www.apple.com/macpro/specs.html

Thanks Ronni, I thought the G5 bit referred only to PPC and was not
used on the Intel MacPros

Yes, I know what you mean Severin. It always confuses me when people say they
have a G5, it can mean an iMac G5, a Power Mac G5, a Mac Pro, any Apple G5
computer. It makes life a little difficult if you are trying to give support ...

Hi Tim,
Another thought, sometimes the problems are not as simple as: it is either:
A Word problem
A printer problem
A computer/OS problem
etc. - sometimes it is how a specific combination reacts.
From your postings:
On Sally's machine:
- The text box looks fine in Word 2004
- a print from
Hi Severin (and Ronni)
You are correct, the G5 was a PPC processor. There was an iMac G5 and a PPC
PowerMac G5.
Intel didn't make a G5, so the MacPro wasn't a G5.
(Sorry to correct Ronni) :o)
And yes 10.6.x requires Intel only. 10.5 was the last OS that would work on
a PPC machine (but killed
OOOPS!
Resend after seeing Ronni's post re the Intel G5 - Like Severin, I thought
the G5 refered to the processor! So ignore my previous comment re 10.5.8!
Confused of Albany ;)
