Thank you Robert.  I found that comment offensive as well.

I ahve been using Word in some version or another since 95 and am still, well, not a proficient Word processor. Does that put me in the same group as the one in the above quote? I hope not because now I have reason to learn how to use Word more effectively.

We will always have people who do things with less than perfection. That is the way it is and always will be.

Steve, but what you need to figure out is how to use search and replace and macros to do fixes to poorly prepared documents, and work to educate people in word processing skills. You definitely don't build in tools to accommodate the stupidity of users. All that does it tell people that it's okay to do things the way they've always done them... No wonder literacy and grammar and other skills are going down the tubes...
