<extremely fuzzy memory>Your natural confusion stems from MS trying to
maintain consistency. Whereas WinWord's Page Setup dialog is standalone,
MacWord uses the system Page Setup dialog. Back in Word 6 (and possibly
before), the Document Layout command was added to provide higher level
access to the layout functions (rather than digging through the extra
layer using Page Setup). Like Page Setup, the Document Layout menu
command was in the File menu. With Word98, MacBU decided it made more
sense for that command to be in the Format menu, but kept the command
name the same to avoid breaking compatibility.</extremely fuzzy memory>

Take a look at

http://www.microsoft.com/mac/community/community.aspx?pid=newsgroups#MVPS

MVPs are all volunteers. Speaking just for myself, my contributing to
the groups has nothing to do with the MVP program - I do it for
enjoyment (and to take a break from working!). The award is a nice
recognition. While I appreciate the offer, accepting payment would make
this feel like work. Thanks are always appreciated, of course.
(Disclaimer: I do accept payment for the work I do developing Mac and
cross-platform Office solutions - see
