Let me clarify... There are at least lebenty-gazillion settings in MS Word. Finding them all in the menu tree is sometimes impossible. If I could open normal.dot in a text editor and find say... show formatting codes=ON and change it to OFF it could save a lot of frustration. I hate MS Word because everytime I create a document it wants to format it the way it wants to. By gawd, if I want a bullet I'll put where *I* want it. If I want something indented, I'll use the TAB key. Where is the menu option to tell MS Word... "All I want is a bare-a$$ naked document, when I want some formatting I will tell you, and if that d#$% paperclip or any other stupid animated distraction shows it face again I'm gonna shoot it full of buckshot"?
