My Microsoft Word program has become just about useless. I copy some
text to the clipboard from my browser and try to paste it into Word and
although my "normal" text is Trebuchet 12, Word pastes it in Constantina
12, which, so far as I know, I haven't chosen for anything at all
(doesn't matter if I put the choicebox with the paste or not. I can
choose "match destination" and Word just ignores it).
When I select all or part of what I pasted and choose another font (or
another point size) Word claims to have changed it in the text box on
the toolbar, but it looks exactly the same in the document. I have
tried changing any settings that might be relevant, all to no avail.
Templates have always seemed erratic and poorly thought out to me, but
now it's just unusable. Word also takes a very long time to close.
When I try to select a draft font, the only choices are a few heading
fonts, "normal" not being in the list. I'm about ready to toss this in
the garbage and get some non-M$ solution. There must be something that
doesn't keep falling apart like Word does. I've always had problems
with it, thru 4 different machines, although I do have to say, Word 2000
was not as bad as Word 2003. What is a good Word processor? OpenOffice?
WordPerfect? Thanks guys.... AnnaSummers
