Well, you'll be getting 10.3.0 and having to allow OS X to do it's
auto-update thingy.

It's easily accessible from http://www.microsoft.com/mactopia (just go to
the downloads section for Office). But, it's easiest just to go to the links
I've listed below and download and run the installers.

You already have Office for X, right? In that case the updates are a free
download. The academic version is identical to the joe-blow one.

Hmmm? I'd need to know exactly what the boxes say to take a guess at what's
going on.

It's probably simply that you viewed it at a certain size (or are working on
a document that someone else viewed at a certain size) and Word is using the

Umm. Umm. Umm. Me don't know. It's nothing major. If you're really irked by
it, reformat your harddrive and start fresh ;)
