Sounds like you have version of Office that's so old, the apps
aren't OS X bundles. I didn't think those would run any more. If you
right-click on Word and you don't see "Show package contents" in the
menu, then it isn't a bundle.
Ah, that's what's happening. Thanks for clearing up the little
mystery. There are so many times when I think, "That's funny, I wonder
why it's like that" about something -- especially computers -- and
usually I have to move on without my curiosity being satisfied. Every
little tidbit like this helps me delude myself that I actually am
beginning to understand a little....
