RE: Word Problem

["Lauren" <lauren -at- writeco -dot- net>]

I wish Word would include a feature to disable *all* helpful automations,
but retain the truly helpful enhancements.  It does, however, have a feature
to disable features introduced after Word 6/95 or 97 on save, but that's not
really helpful for disabling its forms of "automation" during document
development.
