Word 2003 upgrade bug

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Over the last few years I’ve done a few upgrades to Office 2003, and we’ve been rolling out Office 2003 at work (finally!) over the last few weeks, so how is it that today was the first time we ran into this bug with character units?

Weird. But, there you have it, if you ever find a Word installation that will not show the correct measurement unit in the ruler no matter what your unit of measurement is set to, check out that little bit of scripty-ness.

    AKA the great cleanup of 2006. I’ve always said that I wasn’t a good test subject to measure how effective any anti-trojan or spyware application is, so while I’ve kept a professional interest in the latest and greatest tools, I hadn’t been given a really good opportunity to try them out, until last week.

    Andy, in the comments on those Postini posts I made late last week, asked about false negatives, email that got blocked as spam but really wasn’t.
