Office 2008 and Spaces issues, finally fixed in Snow Leopard?

big issue ... love Spaces but every once in awhile I cannot click on a window and get to it ... it always goes back to my current window ... can access thru application switcher, but now via mouse ... turn off and back on and it resets ... wish i knew why it did this though

Word 2004 not working well with Spaces since the Snow Leopard upgrade. If Word is not running and I try to open a Word doc from an email message, Word opens in the right Space (Space 5), but it just opens a blank document instead of the one I clicked on. If I open a Word doc from Finder (which is in Space 2), it just opens in Space 2 instead of Space 5, where it's supposed to open.

I was optimistic that the entourage calendar and reminder notification problems i have been having since i upgraded to office 2008 for mac would be resolved in snow leopard, but, sadly, no. I would so welcome any advice if someone has tackled and conquered the problem of disappearing meeting notifications. I still seem to be chasing them through my 6 spaces and, still even after SN, will just dismiss them from the dock.

After I did the SL upgrade, i turned them back on hoping for the best and have turned them off as of today.

The issues with spaces haven't been the worst problems I've had with Word for Mac. Are they also going to fix the disappearing cursor and the random bugs that usually don't happen for a discernible reason?

It may or may not be fixed for Office, but I'm now having Spaces issue with other programs. For example, I've set Adobe CS4 to only show up in space 3 and in Leopard it did just that. In SL, it'll open the image in whatever space I'm in while drawing the Photoshop menu options in space 3. (This is a MBP hooked up to an external display as well.)

Also, when moving my Firefox window from the MBP to the external cinema display, the Firefox drop down boxes stayed on the MBP while the browser was on the other monitor. Double d'Oh!

All of Adobe's Creative Suite 4 applications had an issue with Leopard and Spaces that is now fixed in SL.

Particularly if you had the application frame turned on, and (for example) Photoshop was assigned to space 2, and you were in a different space when launching it, your mac would end up switching constantly back and forth between spaces. Half of Photoshop would launch in its assigned space, and half in whatever space you happened to be in....

A problem no longer

Dgandy, consult this: http://word.mvps.org/Mac/StopAutoFormat.html. It's the Tools-Autoformat as you type tab you want to go to, and uncheck most of the boxes.

I have Office 08 and Snow Leopard, and Spaces is definitely not fixed for me. I nearly always need multiple documents open at once. Whenever I switch between spaces and come back to Office, the active window doesn't float on top. (But if I start typing, it'll go into the active window, as opposed to the one on top that I can see.) I have to click on the inactive document blocking my view to make it the active window and then go back to find the one I'd been working on before. It's incredibly irritating, particularly because I do quite a lot of switching between spaces.

Is anybody else seeing this behavior?

Anyone else have trouble with Adobe Indesign/Photoshop and spaces? I frequently have dialog boxes go invisible on me for Photoshop. I can see them while I'm scrolling through spaces, but they won't actually be on any particular space.

Spaces is still having issues...I setup one of my mouse buttons as a shortcut to open spaces. In 10.5.X you could just mouse over the space and hit the same mouse button to go to the space. Now, you HAVE to click the left mouse button. After 2+ years of hitting the same modifier key its a big pain to move your hand to hit a different button.

Also, if you use the spaces shortcut and go to a full screen VMWare Fusion window, it doesn't always take the mouse input (You need to select that space again in spaces for it to be effective). This happens about 35-40% of the time.
