You took the words from my mouth :-)  I was going to suggest something
like that but I have not seen it in this context.   By the way, what
version of Word?   My experience stops at the Office97 series whose Word
was not entirely badly behaved.

My wife uses Word 2000 for her PhD thesis, under a Japan-ised version of
Windows Me.   The amount of ill behaviour is a thing of constant wonder.
