When you do anything to customize Word (3.n), you affect Word itself via a file
in the System folder named Word Settings. Each user can start Word with his
own Word Settings folder and thereby have his own Word customization. You do
need to keep your own copy of this file and replace the current Word Settings
file when you sit down to work.

For more information about Word prior to purchasing, there are some pretty
good books that tell you how to work with Word. $20 or so for a book is a
good way to judge the product. The best one (in my opinion) is "Working
With Word" published by Microsoft Press. Also "Word Companion" published by
Cobb is good.

If you end up buying Word, you'll have a nice addition to the User Manual,
which is arranged in alphabetical order - sort of like an Encyclopedia instead
of the more traditional approach.
