Re: Bug or just having fun in Word

Hey, about that bug. It was strange, at the time the email came in, I was
looking at fonts! coincidence?
I ran filemon, and regmon, and all I found were references to a file called
"MSGR2EN.LEX" located in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft
Shared\PROOF.
All the words that belong to the sentence that is *also* used in previewing
FONTS, can be found in that file(MSGR2EN.LEX). hmmmm, where am I going with
this...

I guess I would say that if Micro$oft was open source, they wouldn't be
offering money to try and figure this thing out. You'd have to *see* where
those variables appear in the code. I'm not too familiar with coding or
anything, but isn't "rand" a variable found in JAVA Script? Hmmm, anyways
Everyone have a good day, night, whatever it may be.
