The tmp HFV is used by programs (like "Smaller Installer" which is
used by Maelstrom, for instance) that need temporary space. I
wouldn't recommend nuking it.
Right now there's a bug that prevents you from creating HFV files
larger than 120 MB or so. So that sort of encourages you to split
things up. Splitting things up is probably a good idea anyway because
if an HFV is corrupted you can potentially lose access to everything
in it -- backup your HFVs!

Sounds like you don't have "Word Commands" in the proper place. Word
the application should be in a folder that contains a "Word Commands"
folder. The "Word Commands" folder should have a lot of files in it,
like (many of these are optional):
Custom Dictionary
Drop Cap
EPS-TIFF-PICT
Equation Editor
Equation Editor Help
Excel Converter
Find File
Grammar
MS Word Conversion Options
MacWrite II Converter
Mail
Microsoft Graph (a folder)

Yeah, it's usual. When Word detects System 7 it uses traps that we
have no documentation on.

No, that folder is confusing. To install fonts, drag them into the
hot-band. Ignore the "Fonts" folder in the System Folder.
