I am a Microsoft Word user. I have Word 2004. Until now it has been no problem. I know that Microsoft has intentionally not made the program Mac friendly, however I have been using it for so many years that all of my documents are on Word plus the fact that most other people have it so it has always been easy to send attachments.
Present problem since I got my new MacBook. I swtiched from a G4. In Attachments- formatting is jumbled at least 50% of the time. I send stuff ot my clients so this is a big problem. Never used to be a problem. I have the box checked that says windows friendly.
And the auto save function is not working the way it used to. It used to be that it saved every so many minutes automatially. Now I have to remember to hit save or I might lose what I have just written. Case in point. I am sitting happily outside in the sunshine writing on my book. The power was getting low so I went inside but before i could plug it in- it went off. I didn't click save first I had to restart it and the autosave document was unable to be opened. Who knows why. I lost the last page I wrote- gone poof. In the past it would have auto saved to the original document. Now it is supposed to save a back-up copy- however like this time it doesn't always work.
I have re-installed the program. Not sure what else to do. Any ideas or other programs that do what Word does and can be opened as an attchament by windows users. THanks for any ideas. I am open. Kaya
