Even though deleting Normal solved the problem I remember that the root of the problem ultimately was a font that Word didn't like. The problem kept coming back until I had eliminated the bad font. Word is particularly fussy about fonts, so if the killing Normal fix works she might also try eliminating any non-standard fonts and seeing if the problem goes away permanently and then reintroducing fonts carefully. Office apps have very weird non-standard font handling. For example as I type this email Entourage is both smoothing and not smoothing fonts of exactly the same size in my folder list (and ignoring my system-wide smoothing preferences) and looking at the font menu in WYSIWYG mode on an HTML page causes Entourage go into spinning beachball mode for a good 4 minutes. Aarg.I wish Apple just provided a good API for a font menu with WYSIWYG fonts grouped by type. Is that too much to ask?! but I digress. raul http://www.mexicanpictures.com -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
