Re: Problem using Word in Spaces

Regarding Word 2008's failure to play nice with Leopard's Spaces feature,

"as I understand it the issue is far too complex to be addressed in
an update"

and in another post comments:

"In fact, I make no pretense of knowing why the incompatibility exists
because - frankly - I have no idea and I'm perfectly wiling to admit it"

The former suggests an understanding of the situation at some level,
albeit potentially rumor or idle MS employee chatter. The latter backs
away from such a suggestion.

There seems to be a certain tone coming from two different MVP posters.
"the less you know about software..." "... Apple doesn't change horse in
mid-stream again..."

Certain facts must be accepted as demonstrably true:

1) Spaces is useful for a number of Leopard users.
2) Word 2008 doesn't work well with Spaces.
3) The overwhelming majority of other software does work, including both
simple and very complex applications.
4) Disappointment arises amongst users who find themselves using software
that belongs to a tiny minority of non-compatible apps

For myself, I'm writing a book (which presents it's own challenges to Word
that updates seem to be tackling) and Spaces is a great help to organizing
various screens/apps/information as I review .pdfs, generate
illustrations, and email subjects.

I look forward to MS taking care of the Spaces incompatibility and will
contact them to express my desire for the fix.
