Egad the Office 2003 version of Word makes it harder than it used to
be to manipulate databases! I don't understand why you would take
away the ability to do it the old way and ONLY provide the interface.
The interface might be great for people who don't know their way
around a database, but you have reduced the functionality of this
tool for me. I hope in future updates you will give us the old way
back as an option.
