9) Is there a way to view plaintext in Office 2004 as it is viewed in Office X?
Go to General Preferences, Fonts, and select the font you want, and size you want. Choose another font that looks good at 9 point and anti-aliased. There's a much longer winded explanation for why this is so, but it basically boils down to it's a side-effect of using Apple's ATSUI text engine and Carbon apps. Office X shows fixed point messages "plaintext" as non-anti-aliased Monaco 9 point by default. Office 2004 shows it as anti-aliased Monaco. Some people have liked "Lucidia Sans Typewriter" and "Andale Mono"at 10 or 12 point which you should already have (Office folder->Fonts). There's another one called ProFont - which was designed specifically to look good at 9 point. You'll want to use the ProFontIsoLatin1 variant. http://www.tobiasjung.net/profont/ For more info: ?
