english or maybe not having it saved to word at all. cause word does

First, my irrelevant comentary, you might consider upgrading from Vista to
XP. Then you're more likely to get an OS that will do what YOU (not Bill
Gates) want it to do. (less of Microsoft's faulty new mentality and false
intelligence)

For a different reason than you'd expect, I'd recommend you say more clearly
what's happeningn when you are "saving to Word". Aside from helping you get
help, it will force you to understand what your actions are at that point,
and your answer might immediately arise from there.

For example, what application (software) do you have that document open in
when you are saving it?

And, what do mean by "saving it in Word"? Do you mean that you're saving it
in Word format, or saving in the area / folder that your Word show you as
the default area?

Lastly, what application (software) are you viewing it in?

I suspect that after you answer the above you'll discover that the problem
arises from you looking at it in a different (and probably less powerful)
software than it was created in. For example, created in Word format, and
then viewed in a text editor. Not that that is alwyas a problem, but it is
probably the problem in your case.
