Hey!  That kind of works in Word 2002 (10.4219.4219) SP-2.

I found some "dancing tabs" modal dialogs under
"Tools" -> "AutoCorrect Options".

I'm going to stick with my "no easily apparent way to turn them off"
statement however (and my bitter hatred of "Word"): I had to change
settings under two tabs (tab 1: "AutoCorrect" and tab 2: "AutoFormat
As You Type") for some things to take effect.

Up yours, Clippy.  I hate you.  I hate "Word".  I still see no value in
"Word" and I would not buy it, except under one circumstance:
