[QUOTE="GeoffreyS, post: 1026228, member: 57313"] [b]buggy[/b] Maybe a good time to slip onto this thread - I'm beginning to find Word 2008 really buggy - Toolbars never appear by default at the top of a document window (even when the menu shows them as selected.) I need to de-select, then select Formatting or Standard or Reviewing, in order for them to show. Then they come up in an incomplete way. Quite frequently the whole programme crashes when working with the toolbars. This is not good :Shouting: Also trying to use the (very poorly supported and explained) Master document & sub-document Feature. Took me an evening to figure out that having changes tracked in a sub document conflicts with the locking feature of the master document - but the error message rather unhelpfully only tells you that the subdocuments are locked in different ways. How useful is that?? :Grimmace: Any comments from anyone? I have a publishers book deadline on Wednesday... [/QUOTE]
