Default Word 2003 should stop popping up formatting tips

Could the program please push itself into the background and stop
interrupting with formatting tips and pop-ups. Just let me type my bl**dy
letters. When I want help, I'll ask for it. I find it really frustrating
having things pop up as I type.

This is not something that I set in my version of Word, this is how it
installed, out of the box. Sooooooooooooo wish I had older version of Word
back.

Rant over!

Hi Rob-

I can identify with your frustration, but by the same token I can appreciate
MS logic in turning most of those features ON by default for the benefit of
inexperienced, less knowledgeable users. They can't be expected to be able to
figure out what HELP features might possibly be available, let alone
determine how to turn them ON.

OTH, more experienced users realize that each of those features can be
turned OFF and where to look in order to do so.

Regards |:)

CyberTaz, I have always thought MS stupid for doing it. You've provided a
wee bit of reason. Thanks.
