What in the world does this have to do with Microsoft Word?

Think he's is looking for the Spell-Check.

Good guess! FWIW, the only reason I answer such posts is that someone
somewhere is "grading" the NGs on "answered questions." Any post without a
reply is counted as an "unanswered question." In many cases, clueless users
solve this problem themselves by posting the same question two or three
times in the same thread, saving everyone the trouble of responding. <g>

Hi Suzanne

why are they "grading" the newsgroup?

Microsoft has a whole "department" whose job is to compile statistics on the
NGs. This is part of ongoing research to assess how effective they are as a
support mechanism. For more, see http://netscan.research.microsoft.com/ (for
this NG, see
http://netscan.research.microsoft.c...4999&searchfor=microsoft.public.word.newusers).
Interestingly, they compile statistics on Usenet in general, not just the
msnews NGs.

Hmmm... so they are also following the linux-related NGs, to name
something?
That actually makes a lot of sense. I didn't expect that from Redmont.
