I just switched back to my PowerBook G4 to create a manuscript because my MacBook does not have Word installed and I'm too cheap to buy new one. The problem is, the Word 2008 formatting palette does not respond to my commands on this Power Book OSX version 10.5.8. Any suggestions?

What happened to your Office 2008 disk? Office 2008 does not use activation which means if you have the disk and serial numbers (3) that came with it, you should be able to install it on your MacBook.

Thanks for the suggestion, however after 3 moves since I had the disk, I can't find it anymore.

I didn't think things were that bad in Apple Macland these days that one with at least a somewhat recent Mac would actually want or even need to use a PB G4 with 10.5.8 and MS Word 2008 to "create a manuscript"… that's sure not saying much or any recommendation for using Apple's Pages etc., but then that's nothing new…
But ghee… or Wowzers as some old-timers would say, it seems a bit much!!!
And is MS Office 2008 right up to date???
