Hack 7 Report and Review Your Options

A freeware template from MouseTrax displays all
of your Word Options settings in a convenient report
format.

There are more than 200 settings that qualify as
Options in Word 2003 (slightly fewer in earlier versions), and
they're often the key to understanding
Word's behavior. Sure, you can check most of them by
scrounging around the Options dialog (ToolsOptions), but
having them all presented for you in a report makes a lot more sense.

A freeware template available from MouseTrax (http://www.MouseTrax.com) generates an
easy-to-read Word document listing your current Options settings.
Part of the first page of a sample report is shown in Figure 2-14.

After you download the template for your version of Word, just
double-click it to create the report.

If you've set your Macro Security Settings (ToolsMacroSecurity) to High, you'll need to download the template into your templates folder before it will run.

Included with each setting and its current value is a brief
description, which can acquaint you with some of
Word's more esoteric options (e.g.,
AllowAccentedUppercase, which has to do with how
Word treats accents over capital letters in French).
