John, you are one brave puppy! As you proceed with the exploration, could
you try to figure out how you can get a second list of potential words, or
even a third list, by clicking on one of the entries in the first list, so
that you can run it down until you find something that feels right?
I promise I'll try to play with the same methods you're discovering, to see
if I can figure anything out. I never would have guessed that the context
menu might be a way to circumvent the crazy design of this task pane thing.
Daniel.
