Hate to be the wet blanket here. But it's little gimmicks like these that comprimise Word and other MS products. Each one of these adds to the load the application places on the machine. It's more code that can break and cause the application to fail or become vulnerable to malicious code.

If Microsloth programmers would stick to keeping only the code neccessary to running the application, it probably wouldn't take 128 friggin megabytes just to boot Windows XP. Why do I think that is obscene? Because I can boot a linux installation on 4 megabytes. Actually, I think the true minimum is like two, but with 4 you could actually do stuff.
