If you must use Word, then get what some users are calling the “Word Sanity Package” - a collection of utilities that address Word’s most irritating shortcomings:
* Payne Numbering Assistant - replaces Word’s utterly mystifying auto-numbering/outlining system with an interface that makes it actually work the way people expect it to.
* Metadata Assistant - a must-have for every Word user. Removes Metadata from outbound Word, Excel and Powerpoint files. Also lets you view all the Metadata contained in documents you receive.
* Levit & James CrossEyes - similar to WordPerfect’s Reveal Codes for Word. This is a real time-saver as it let’s you “look under the hood” of your documents to find and resolve problems.
* CrossFingers from Levit & James - repairs corrupted Word files. Unfortunately, this tool is needed more often than it should be.
* Stylizer from Levit & James - conforms internally generated and externally received documents to your standard styles. It reduces the time wasted by Word documents others send to you that contain messed up styles that begin to infiltrate and ruin your internal document base.
