Word2007 sends jumbled file to a Mac
I downloaded and have been trying the Office2007 Suite. I created a
calendar file with 4 pages (March-June) and have been making additions/deletions, etc. I have been saving it in Word 97-2003 format and passing it back and forth between myself and a Mac User. We have both been making changes. Suddenly, on Friday, when the Mac User tried to open the file, 2 pages were superimposed on each other! His machine reports that it is now a 3 page document and he can see April and May as if they were on 1 page but one on top of the other. We tried sending it to other machines that were using Word2003 (PC) and it was fine. What would be causing this and how do we fix it? Thanks, Linm |

Sounds like someone set bad text wrapping on one of the tables. Click inside
each table (month?) and choose Table--properties, and make sure text wrap is set to None. I do not have 2007, so I can't be sure that my directions are perfectly correct. **************************** Hope it helps!

[cross-posting to the Mac Word group, just because]
You might tell the Mac user to try the document corruption fixes listed here, but that's a guess. http://word.mvps.org/Mac/DocumentCorruption.html linm wrote: I downloaded and have been trying the Office2007 Suite.

Most of the time, we pass it by leaving it on a Network drive that we
can both access. We also tried me emailing it to him. Same results.
