I have a real problem with Word.
In some documents - not all, but always big important ones my clients need urgently - Word applies an edit not just to the selected text, but to ALL text. For example, if I set a paragraph to be bulleted, or numbered, it bullets on numbers the entire document. I have chosen the preference that says only apply edits to selected texts, but it keeps (intermittently) doing this,
My "workaround" is to hit command-Z, and this always fixes it. However, there's a price. The document grows and grows every thiemI do this, and as a result background save stops working, and commend-Z takes longer and longer to work.
I hope this is clear: a friend who recently started usung Mac after many years in PC-land has the same problem, my brother, who also uses Mac, doesn't know what I'm talking about.
Any ideas? Could I have a corrupted version of the software? Should I be directing this query to Microsoft?
Thanks in advance!
