Fixed crashing word

Used this article to fix Word settings so it doesn't crash now. Removed the file com.microsoft.Word.plist from ~/Library/Preferences folder, and put settings back how I wanted them :-(

Update 2009 09 06.

I discovered that the crash occurs sometime when going from two screens (Word on the external screen) to one screen. This suggests that it's simply because something isn't checking that the screen coordinates are valid.

Found that if I replaced the part of the above file between the data tags straight after the 2008\Data\Toolbars tag, with what's recreated when the file is deleted, it starts up and doesn't crash.

I have saved a working file in Evernote. Would save it here but then I can't access it when I'm offline.

Power management on Advent 4211

Found what looks like an updated power management kernel extension that specially fixes the iTunes choppiness and hopefully crashes, VoodooPower. Found it in this forum topic, which seems to have several suggested post-install instructions.

So far no choppiness in iTunes, and it hasn't crashed, but then I only just installed it.

Printing 2 pages per sheet using CUPS PDF driver

I downloaded this CUPS printer driver package and installed it, it worked seemlessly and allowed me to use the advanced printing layouts to create PDFs by choosing a PDF printer.

Word 2008 crashes on startup

Now my Word 2008 install doesn't seem to want to start. Found this KB article that suggests deleting old preferences - I think I may have originally had a trial version of Word, though maybe not.

Held down shift key at startup and it works now. Will have to investigate deleting settings.
