And you know, it's simple to do in Word 2001 too, once you know the answer.
The problem is "discovering" the answer.

Which makes me think again: maybe most of the problem with people feeling
frustrated with a large, complicated program like Word is the LACK OF
DOCUMENTATION.

I've got the "Missing Manual" for Office 2001 pre-ordered. But I'd even pay
Microsoft for a decent set of documentation. I'd prefer that they break it
into components, though: while I'd pay handsomely for a nice, complete of
docs for Word, I'd rather not pay for a huge "bible" that is 50% devoted to
Excel, and then spends most of its time in the Word section telling me how
to change margins or make text italic.

I get the feeling there is some real power lurking in Word for me to tap.
How do I really take advantage of the Organizer? The numbering dialogs are
pretty complex: tell me what each of those options does, give me examples.
Devote a whole chapter to long document preparation. Etc.
