As for the layout, I am using the default. The only setting I am interested in making on a global level is the speak characters setting, and this setting will not stick, no matter how I go about saving it. I know that I succeeded, all be it with a little help back when I started using this PC, but after the hard drive crash, it has been, so far at least, absolutely impossible to save this setting. I have saved all three ways, namely, ctrl+s, by tabbing to the option in the settings dialog box, and using the save option in the file menu, all to no avail. Now here goes my paranoia, hopefully there isn't possibly some sabotage by the powers that be in order to make the Office version just that much tougher to use over time. In other words, an attempt at acceleration of the inevitable <smile>. OK, I think I'm kidding, but anything is possible online these days. But anyway, if you or anybody else can help with this little yet big annoyance, it would really be very much appreciated.
