Buggy upgrade

After the upgrade to version 3.0.0 (tools also updated) my MS Word auto corrects have gone very strange.

They add two spaces after each autocorrect rather then one and two punctuation marks after each autocorrect.

Strangely, this does not happen every time.

I also have lost the ability to cut and past from pdf files viewed with Safari into MS Word.

Working around that one by pasting to a Sticky, copying the text from the Sticky and pasting into Word.

As someone who gets paid per word translated, this is really costing me money.

Please fix.

Also when copying/pasting within Word, it double pastes (pastes the same text twice!)

I wonder if this is related to the double spaces and punctuation marks in autocorrect?

Pasting twice might possibly due to Tools gone awry (try uninstalling/reinstalling), but I really doubt Word's autocorrect is something that we could influence even if we wanted to. For that, I'd look at Word's settings.

The pasting twice happens whether I paste from within Word or from a Mac-based program.

1) My autocorrects worked fine

2) I installed the "upgrade"

3) They immediately went haywire.

4) My first instinct was to mess with autocorrect settings too

Please try again.

My clients are getting impatient with me and I cannot lose this job.

I uninstalled Fusion and reinstalled.

Stilll no joy.

I then reinstalled Tools.

Nope.

I'm in some real trouble here.

Can someone please help me return my computer to where it was before I trusted VMware with this "update"?

Can't paste from Excel to Mail either.

Can someone please help me return to my previous setup.

I'm willing to pay money for a "downgrade" that works.
