How many times do you propose to answer this question?

For some reason the site was not updating on my end, nor were other responses
showing, even after refreshing. I assumed that something was wrong on my
end, so that nothing was being posted from my computer. Hence, the multiple
responses. As you can see, between my first and last response nearly five
hours had passed, and the responses now here did not become visible on my end
until this morning, even after checking late last night.

Well, get ready to see a lot more of this, as MS claims that in a
couple of weeks these newsgroups will no longer be newsgroups, but
accessible only through the evidently seriously damaged MS web page.

You are mistaken. As of June 1, these NGs may well survive as NGs (on Usenet
generally and on sites such as Google Groups), but the msnews server will be
shut down, so they will not be available there. At the same time, the
Communities forums that mirror the NGs (which I assume is what you mean by
"the evidently seriously damaged MS web page") will also be shut down, so
these NGs will not be available that way, either. The only Word support will
be through three forums at the Answers site:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/default.aspx#tab=2 or
http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/officeword
