Microsoft loves to make their applications try to think for you, particularly later versions of an App. Personally, I don't mind any "feature", as long as I can turn it off. Nothing gives me more satisfaction than to watch that annoying paperclip disappear for good. I do hate though when a lot of features bloat the application so much that no matter how many features are turned off, it still takes forever to load (forever=relative-computer-time, i.e. about 10 seconds or more). I hated dbl-clicking a 10kb XML document and wait the immense load time before finally XMLSpy came up. -BKN
