I'm running a copy of microsoft office on the iMac I just bought and I've noticed it still carries the old owners name when saving files. Is this easily changed?

I installed a demo of Microsoft Office 2010 before I realized that the Apple iWorks suite gives me everything I need, between Pages, Numbers and Keynote. Now I want to remove Microsoft Office from my Mac OS X system, but there's no "uninstaller". Um, how do I completely, cleanly remove Office?

I've been learning more about Pages (part of Apple iWorks) and am wondering if there's a template document, premade layout or similar that will let me quickly create an attractive invoice to send to clients?

I have been trying to make the switch from Microsoft Office to Apple iWorks and it's been going well but I just hit a problem in Pages that I can't figure out. Is there any way to sort text in a Pages document? I can't figure it out...

Digging my Apple iPad, but while some of the documents I work with are written in Apple's Pages application, many more of the docs I get are from Microsoft Word, with the ".doc" filename suffix. Is there any way to view - and hopefully even -- edit them on my iPad?

I have switched from Microsoft Office on my Mac OS X system to Apple's iWorks package, which works great except every so often someone complains that my files are in .pages format, not .doc, which is what they want to see. I can't see how to save a file in Pages as an MS Word doc file, but I know it can be done. Help?

How can I print a document "sideways" in Microsoft Word (or print a Web page in Internet Explorer sideways, for that matter), so that the words run lengthwise down the length of the paper, rather than running from side to side parallel with the shorter sides of the paper?

Finally I have received a Google Wave invitation and am hooked up with what some people are saying is the Next Big Thing in online project management. I don't fully get it yet, but I do want to hook up a few colleagues and try it out. How do I invite others to Google Wave?

Ever get a .doc (Microsoft Word) file as an email attachment on your Mac, only to find that you can't seem to open it or do anything to view the contents of the file?

I like to keep my blog readable and neat, so I fix typos and grammatical errors in comments. Recently I have had a couple of people leave these long comments in all upper-case, which just rubs me the wrong way. Is there some easy way to fix this?

My kids think it's quite a lark to add goofy words to the spelling dictionary in Microsoft Word on my MacBook Pro, which I don't mind except now I find that some of the words that I commonly misspell aren't be flagged as misspelled either. Not good. How can I clean up Microsoft Word on my Mac so that it doesn't have bogus words?

I don't know what's changed, but in the past, when I wanted to see revisions and changes to a document in Microsoft Word on my Mac it showed me what was inserted and deleted. Now, however, it has zillions of little balloons on the side of the document. What the heck? How do I change Microsoft Word so revision tracking shows up the way I prefer?

Can you tell me how to set up custom templates in Microsoft Word? I feel like I'm creating the same documents over and over again and there has to be a better way.

I've moved into a new position at work and am now responsible for editing press releases to ensure they have proper grammar prior to their release. In the past, I've seen people work with Microsoft Word such that any changes they make are highlighted on the screen, easily tracked, but I have no idea how to do that. How do I turn it on?

I use Microsoft Word on my Mac every day, and every time I create a new document I change the default typeface from Times 12 point to Papyrus 13 point. Surely there's some way to change the default typeface in a new document and save me this hassle?

Microsoft PowerPoint is driving me a bit crazy right now on my Mac because every time I type in a web site URL it turns it into a hyperlink, complete with different formatting and color. Surely there's some way to turn this feature off??

Every so often I get an email attachment and double-click it to open it up on my Mac. It opens up fine, I make edits and save the document, but then when I quit Word I can't find the $#@$# document on my system. What's going on and where are the documents I've edited?

Do you have any idea how to set a document in Microsoft Word to have exactly 25 lines per page? That's what the agents and publishers I'm approaching want as a standard format, (1" margins and 25 lines) but every attempt I've made to do that has fallen short one way or another -- the occasional 24 or 26 lines. Any ideas? I've queried a lot of my other writer friends, but their solutions don't quite work. They may not be Mac folks. Help! If you don't have an answer I'm going to be doing a lot of line counting and eyeballing of pages.

My Microsoft word for microsoft office has a backgroung colour problem.

I feel like a complete idiot, but I was trying to copy and paste about fifteen paragraphs of text from a Microsoft Word document to an email message, and somehow ended up cutting the text out of the document and then having my email program crash. The net result is that I've lost about a day's typing and really want to know if there's any way I can recover it?
