MS Offic 08 + Spaces

Im having a rather annoying issue when using Microsoft office 08 for mac with spaces.

I have two MS word documents open, one is my assignment requirements and the other is the actuall document im creating my report in.

What I want to do is put the assignment breif in one space windows and then the document im working on in another spaces window so I can quickley switch back and for. The problem is it wont let me have a different word document in a different space, it always keeps them in the same one.

Is there any way to fix this problem that I am having?

Did you set Word to be specifically on one space in the Spaces settings?

And you've tried going into the overhead type view of spaces and dragging them around from there?

No settings for any application have been added to the spaces settings

Yes, I have tried dragging them around to different spaces.


All the MS word windows seem to want to stay in the same space and they wont split up. if i drag one MS word document window to a different space, they all will go to that space.

Office 2008 does not work with Spaces - it's a documented problem (but one that hasn't been fixed by Microsoft yet). It's annoying, I'd also like to have different documents in different spaces.

ah, thats a pain in the bum! thanks anyway
