Steven: I put Office 2000 on my new XP machine and had no problems at all.
NOW I have upgraded just Word to Office 2003/XP and am thinking of reinstalling the old version. There are many differences, and the 2003 version seems to have been 'dumbed-down' to do a lot of things automatically, almost insulting the intelligence of a literate user. -Jim "Steven F" wrote: Im getting a new computer with windows XP but i dint pay extra to include the new Word version...

As a literate user, you must already know about clicking on Tools |
AutoCorrect Options | AutoFormat As You Type, and turning off everything under "Apply as you type" and "Automatically as you type".

Hey, did I say that _I_ was a literate user? May have hinted, but the
problem is that there's so much going on in Word that I actually have not checked these options. Thanks for the reminder, I'll see what happens with all those turned off. -Jim |
