I'm suspicious of MS word and would much rather do my cards in something not complex enough to cause random trouble. A text note pad for example; archiving previous cards in a spreadsheet until they have really taken shape as a deck. The spreadsheet might do very well for generating the cards, too.
You can drag spreadsheet columns to change the order of questions, though Mnemosyne can do that itself. I suppose that I shouldn't be answering MS questions, having given it up 25 years ago and using Mnemosyne 2.x on a Mac. But you may have to wait till Monday for a properly educated answer.
