Incidentally, the switch is especially annoying since Word has a problem about making "smart quotes" when text is set as Norwegian... I'm using Word 2011 for Mac. Have tried explicitly determining English as language for footnote text, to no avail. Help with this would be greatly appreciated!

That damn phantom window still shows, especially if I launch Word by double-clicking on a Word file. I do not have the problem where it stays in the Task Manager even after I close Word. I can't believe this hasn't been fixed. I guess you're expected to upgrade to MS Office 2010. I'm not one of those rabid anti-Microsoft types, but this sort of thing burns me. Nope.

I should have mentioned this. Unfortunately, I know that tip from previous versions of Word. In this case, it doesn't help and neither does anything else (setting the footnote style language, the document language, the default language, everything). Thanks Ben. I should have mentioned this.

I've just spent hours trying to figure out how to make Word 2007 stop corrupting my cross-references every time I try to print or convert to PDF. Nothing works: Word doubles-up the field codes so that I get two paragraph number references (not always the same) back-to-back. This never happened to me in previous versions. I won't buy Office again. I’m with you 100%. I’ve just spent hours trying to figure out how to make Word 2007 stop corrupting my cross-references every time I try to print or convert to PDF.
