autoimatically saved as a 1KB document but the first two
letters of the title are changed to ~$.  Any suggestions
as to how to stop this extra save?

I have a new pc w/Office - Word 2003. Can often not  
translate .pdf files off large, well-used internet sites,
whether I try to "open" or save to pc.
Get computer symbols. Tried other all conversions listed

As standard, our docs are set to save down to 6/95 but we
use 2000.
We have a problem with one of our users where the
documents she opens (saved down to 6/95) are corrupting

Our computer vendor says that if we upgrade from Word 2000
to a later version of Word we will lose all our macros and
templates. Is that correct?

of self adhesive mailing labels with one command, rather
