Start sending in patches, then ;-)
Seriously, there should be an option to turn it off, as there is in Word 97,
but implementing features like this and cloning M$ word, is the only way users
of Word will switch over.
I find it sad, but that's what happens when a monopoly takes over, and makes
people believe that people can't live without their products, and all others
aren't "user friendly". (FUD tactics)
