Actually, Paul, u have 2 scripts--1 in default.jss, & the other in
word. If that is the case--& I'm guessing that is what you're
saying--then the 1 in word takes precedence in word, i.e., the
application script always takes precedence over the default.
I don't have office 2010, so I can't help w/query #1.
