When you save, Word for Mac crashes or quits
When you save, Word for Mac crashes or quits. I had a friend have this problem today. This is a nice list of how to fix it. I like how Microsoft is doing a better job at documenting its problems.

Newt3: Remove Document Protection in Word 2007
Newt3: Remove Document Protection in Word 2007. Interesting that this is supposed to secure the document but it does not. I wonder how many people rely on Microsoft security to keep their documents safe?
Are you worried about your grammer? Check it online.
It can be difficult sometimes to have proper grammar. Sometimes I want to check my grammar but I don’t always have a word processor open to do it. Now I can do that with an online service to check grammar from the people who make WordPress. This is really nice and you don’t have to load up a heavy program like Word to do it.
Now if there was just a Mac system service that automatically checked grammar in every text box. After some reading, it appears that the link referenced above also offers browser extensions! So I downloaded and installed it for Chrome and it works great. You can grab the details for the Chrome version from my post about the Chrome Extensions I use post.
Saving to a pdf in Google docs is twice the size of a word file and larger than Word saving to a PDF
Has anyone used Google docs to save to a word file and also to a pdf? Without changing anything between the two the PDF is 180kb and the word doc is 90kb. Isn’t the advantage of a PDF that it compresses unnecessary information? When I compress the same file from the 90kb word file in Microsoft Word 2011 to a PDF on a Mac I get 150kb. What is the other 30k doing in that PDF file? Has anyone else noticed that Google docs makes chunky PDF’s?
Missing Spaces in .docx Files (via Kan’s Home)
What strange behavior. Why not just assume a .pdf format spacing as the default and only overwrite that if the user specifies a printer expressly?
