IMMEDIATE IMPROVEMENTS NEEDED FOR WORD 2007

[Guest]

There are some improvements that must be made to Word 2007. First and most
importanly is STOP CHANGING MY FONT AND SPACING AUTOMATICALLY. If I want Word
to do this I will chose a template. QUIT CHANING IT FOR ME. I just spent 20
minutes fixing my document because Word for some reason decided to make
everything italic and different sized fonts. I had to change 20 pages of
about 20 different sizes and types of fonts right after I got everything like
I wanted.

Secondly, is give me more control over my document. Word 2007 automatically
does things for me and does it incorrectly. STOP THIS.

If Word is not changed, I am afraid that I will never use Word again. I have
been using Word for over 15 years. In fact, I will switch to something much
more compliacted, Latex. Keep this up and Word will be completly destroyed by
things like Word Perfect or Open Office. These programs are clearly not up to
Office 2003 standards, but will complely destroy Office 2007.

It sounds rather as if you haven't learned to use styles and/or still have
enabled whatever the Word 2007 equivalent of "Define styles based on my
formatting" is. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/TameAutoFormat.htm
for tips on handling this in Word 2003 and earlier; I don't know how much is
relevant to Word 2007.
