Better workaround is to upgrade.
[chokes on his coffee] What ... you mean "upgrade to a later version of Word" ? I don't think I'll ever be doing that, unless you can show me some really horrible thing in Word 2000, that outweighs all the excess bloat in Office XP/2003 - new-fangled Clippy-nonsense, and additional code (providing new attack surface) implementing new features that I just don't want. You'll probably recall that IT variation on an old cliche : "80% of people only use 20% of Word's features" .... Word 2000 does it for me - and for everybody else I've ever talked to about this topic. The only people with Office XP/2003 that I know are people who got it bundled with a new PC. Everybody else upgrades to, and then sticks with, Word 2000 - glad to have gotten off the horrible treadmill of Office upgrades required *just* to exchange documents with other people on newer versions. MS, bless them, seem to have preserved .doc-file forwards compatibility across versions 2000 and later. Of course, now I've said that in public ..... ;) So, no - I don't think a Word upgrade is an answer for most folks.
