- Word 5.1 does not change settings to the toolbar or Address list until after
- you quit the program! So if you spend a lot of time customizing the toolbar,
- or adding some addresses to the address list, it would be a good idea to quit
- immediately afterwards, to save the changes. I personally entered an entire
- address list, only to be forced to do it again after the computer locked up
- before I quit Word. Also, it is a good idea to keep a copy of the Word
- toolbar prefs file handy. The last time the computer locked up with Word 5.1
- running, the Word toolbar prefs file was corrupted, and I had to erase it.
- Incidentally, this is mentioned in the booklet that came with Word 5.1, but
- it is buried. I didn't notice it until after the address problem occurred,
- since it was mentioned near the back of the book.
