Options in Word should be available at all times.

[Guest]

I think it is slighty obtuse that in order to set my options, I MUST have a
document open (blank or not). Why would you REMOVE the choice to set options
at ANY time?I am using Word from the Office 2003 Professional Suite. All the
latest updates per Microsoft checking.

I agree. This is one reason I keep a blank document open all day.
Admittedly, some of the Options settings are document-specific, but these
could be dimmed when a document is not open in the same way that some
commands on the Table menu are not available when the insertion point is not
in a table.
