(Imagine running AC on one of these!)
I'm seriously thinking of bypassing Office 2007. First of all, I'd have to redo much of my VBA code due to their changing of the toolbar elements. Office 2003 is stable enough at this point; why put up with new bugs? Lastly, I don't find any compelling reason to upgrade.
I still can't see why an AC install (which is predominantly MS Access) will affect the "Normal" MS Word document template... Let us know as soon as you get an answer! Thanks.
