Google word processor - issues.

I've neglected to do much documentation of the Google word processor up until this point. While I have enjoyed the process and the experiment, I have run into several issues.

They are:

1) Print preview - I can't figure out how to show the page breaks.
2) Bookmarks - They don't seem to work for me. I assign bookmarks, create the hyperlink in my table of contents...but nothing happens (even in "preview" mode).
3) Save as... feature - At first this feature functioned just fine. I was able to save and export the Google document as a PDF or Word doc. Perhaps my document is too large, but I can't export anymore.
4) I don't mind the drop down box approach to changing font, size, etc...but I do find it's a problem to know at a glance what size text I am working in in any given moment. It would be nice if Google would modify this feature.

In the future I'll do a better job of documenting what works and what does not.
