The lack of VBA macro support means it’s useless for the purpose I originally bought it for — teach me to not double-check the specs before I buy.

Worse yet, Word appears to no longer support Thai language — meaning it’s not fit-for-purpose for my wife either. Unfortunately, we left the Office 2003 disk in storage, back in NZ, so we can’t rollback to the version of Office that did support Thai language.

Exactly why is Office such a cash cow for Microsoft? Because of muppets like me, obviously.
