Is there a way to turn off all of Word 2003's automatic features so it
does only what I tell it to do without trying to anticipate what I want?

I'm reworking a document that's the product of several people, all
having their own ways of doing things. It's far too long to redo from
scratch and Word's "assistance" is making more work.

Thanks.

See the following article:

Word is always making changes I don't expect. How can I get more
control over my formatting?
