not. :-)

If only they could find the newsgroups, we might not simply be talking to
ourselves ..... :)

It seems unlikely that Microsoft will restore the link for the remaining few
days - though you never can tell - so a few users are destined to be lost in
limbo land. Few will know they can come here to the newsgroups directly.
Messages on the old forum are still appearing, but they are neither being
redirected here, nor to the answers forum, nor being answered - though I did
pop over briefly to have a look, just to remind myself how bad it was to use
that forum.

Since this is the only thread I have encountered this morning in the entire
microsoft.public.word hierarchy, I suspect you must be right.

Ok, I just looked at the "social answers" page linked in another
thread. It's horrible -- taking up the whole screen with pointless
graphics decoration, allowing very few topics to be visible at once,
requiring far more clicking and scrolling than google groups -- what
(if anything) were they thinking?????
