Re: MS Word and complex documents
GTE,
Have you tried altering the "Compatibility settings" under TOOLS>OPTIONS in Word 2003?
Try setting this to Word 2000 or whatever and see if this makes a difference...
The comapny I work for has about 7000+ people worldwide and although the majoority of offices now run Word 2003 (global roll-out :-), we still need backwards compatibility for the staff to be able to work from home etc.
Our default is to have compatibility set to Word 97 and no-one seems to have any problems....
Just another one to try before you abandon Word.
Regards,
Shuttlebus
