Well, I used to complain about its bloat at the time.
I'm an example of *not* moving on. I'm still compaining about the bloat
in the current version.

I wondered whether it was a typo, and decided it wasn't.

Word 2004 schizophrenic?

Oh, Zack. I was about to recommend Clive's "Bend.." to you, but then I
knew one would be along in a minute ;-)
It really helped me when I moved from 5.1.
PS
I was playing in the corners of the emacs editor last night. How about this for bloat?
It is right up there with remove red-eye.
(although I gotta say that emacs help is far more usable than Word's.
To get this gem from its help I typed "C-h a morse"
in the middle of an editing session.

morse-region M-x morse-region RET
Command: Convert all text in a given region to morse code.
unmorse-region M-x unmorse-region RET
Command: Convert morse coded text in region to ordinary ASCII text.
