He's particularly interested in http://word.mvps.org/Mac/Bend/BendWordToYourWill.html (1 of 3)10/16/09 5:31 PM Word:mac - Bend Word To Your Will reducing the chances of corruption in his documents because in Clive's professional work they are distributed back and forwards between many people, on PCs and Macs. His emphasis is on configuring Word to make it suit your unique needs, but without making the documents themselves very complex. From the top of this page you can also download a template (a compressed Zip file) that's related to the main “Bend Word to Your Will” document. If you are not too experienced yet with Word, you will probably not need to download the template – you can always come back later for it. It contains all the styles used in the main document (but so does the main document itself), plus some of the formatting tools, a skeleton for a long document you can create using those tools, and some notes that Clive sends to colleagues when he attaches toolbars to a document to make it easier for others to format it. (The template does not yet include the most recent formatting changes made in the "Bend Word to Your Will" document.) Please note: If you download the template and install it in the appropriate place and attach a document to it, the template will change the behaviour of Word a little: that's the whole purpose of it. If you want to avoid this, simply keep the template in a different folder from the Microsoft Office “Templates” or “My Templates” folders until you have read the part of “Bend Word to Your Will” which explains how templates are used.
