Same here, although in a Frech-Canadian environment (that should not be
a factor); I had not noticed the matter previosly, at least not to the
extent I am experiencing now, even on long documents, very lightly
formatted (30-50 pages).

I have upgraded my Office 2004 package, to the latest posted upgrade (
circa January 2007), and Mac OS X is in top shape.

If you find and answer— better, a solution, let me know.
