Photoshop 6.0 image is discolored when imported into Word

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Processor: Intel Hi, <br><br>I am trying to import an image from Photoshop 6.0 (Mac Classic version) into Word in publishing layout mode. I have the image saved on my OS X desktop. When I drag the image from my desktop into the word document it appears, but it is too blue!

Mail Merge on Word 2004 for Mac

I'm merging data from an Excel Worksheet on to a Word document. The first line of the address needs to have <Title> <Firstname> <Surname> (with a space in between each entry) but the Excel Worksheet does not always have an entry in the title or first name field. I simply can't work out how to use the rules to ensure that I don't get a space where there is no data to show. For example, if there is no title in the data, I currently see a space and then the firstname at the start of the address. I've tried a few suggested actions that I've found on-line but my version of word

Keeping the same "view"

Version: 2004 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) Processor: Intel I have read the previous FAQs about how to find the &quot;last edited&quot; spot, and since I am using Word 2004, the <cmd/option/z> works for me when I re-open a long manuscript. But, is there any way to get the document to open in the same view? i.e., I use &quot;page width,&quot; but every time I reopen not only does the program begin at the top of the document (not where I was working), but also in &quot;whole page&quot; view. And it's a pain to have to go through the steps of resetting to &quot;page width.&quot;

Word 2008 OpenType font kerning issue

I=92m having some serious font kerning (character spacing) issues, and it seems that the OpenType file format is the culprit. When I create a new document in Word 2008 using an OpenType font, everything looks fine at first. Even after I close the document and re- open it, everything still looks fine. The problem kicks in after I quit out of Word and try to reopen the doc. After Word launches and the doc opens, the kerning looks terrible. (I=92m not talking about imperfect kerning that would only be noticed by a type designer; it really does look awful.) This happens every single time

how to make check-marks

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Processor: Intel I've searched many fonts and symbols looking for a check-mark. There may have been one in one of the ding-bats but it shows up as a numeral 3 when printed by a PC...

So how can I insert a check-mark in the text? Thanks

Invisible text in files from old version

Continuous section breaks don't start until next page
