My favorite Word 2008 bug is still there. Scroll around a document and watch text overlap other text, stop and you'll think you can edit, but really you're editing somewhere else. This screen updating bug makes using Word a nightmare. A Microsoft rep at Macworld assured me he was aware of the bug, and that it would be fixed later in January. Perhaps he meant January 2010?

I often holding down the dash key to create a line. If I press return, Word transforms that into a solid line that is impossible to delete. Copying and pasting formatted text around this line results in the line being pasted elsewhere even if it wasn't selected.

Of course there are the frequent unexpected quits to still enjoy. They must have changed something though, because sometimes when I delete a line of text or a blank space, a moment later the line jumps up or down. Thanks for giving me an even worse product to use. Word 2004 was a much better product.
