A client of mine has recently upgraded to a PowerMac, which has
caused a large number of problems with his version of Word 5.1a
and existing files.

The primary problems are odd changes to large files (> 250k) with
extensive style sheets and hidden text -- the left margin is changed
at random on text with a Normal style.

Additionally, the table of contents command no longer works.

We have reinstalled the Word software, which did not solve the problem.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Jeff Porten
