It is not unusual to have to assume that an OP may not actually have
enough knowledge to frame the right question, that is, that the
question, as stated, may not represent the actual question or problem,
and the solution may lie elsewhere than in an answer to the
exact question asked.


No. Though it is unusual, rude and offensive to publically bet that an OP
is a fumble fingered moron who inadvertenly presses CTRL+h when they post
asking why pressing CTRL+Home brings up the Find dialog. That instance,
like this one, makes it clear that often Mr. Daniels thinks he knows far
more than what he actually does know.

Your argument points to a dogged determination to defend Mr. Daniels. Mine
is to suggest that if he doesn't know the correct answer then it is ok to
leave it to those who do and to suggest that he check his opinions and
assumptions about how Word works before posting them as statements of fact.

I think Greg interpreted "knowledge" as being on your part rather
than on the part of the OP. Your meaning was clear to me, viz., "I
will not assume that the OP already knows what I'm about to say if he
hasn't said so."

Does Mr. Daniels imagine that people have nothing else to do with
their lives than study the posting times of his mostly incorrect
posts? Unlike your stalkers, as you like to call them, you rarely know
the
right answer to any question.

I will not assume knowledge not explicit in their postings.
Oh really? Now there is a sharp reversal of habit. Who crowed these
words less than a month ago?

"Try reading for _content_ and _context_ rather than, as you always
do, only for the specific question asked, where a more sensitive
reader can intuit what's actually going on from what is unsaid."

Cheers.
