From the response, it sounds like I am trying to swim against the current.
Let me change the question. This morning i had an important document open.
I was connected via VPN and something failed in the windows explorer and my
Word document froze. I immediately opened another window to try to get help
on the freeze and to check my tools | options to see if I had inadvertently
changed some of the settings to reside on a link over the VPN rather than the
local machine.

How do you get to tools | options? How do you pull down the help menu?
