This newsgroup contains a vibrant and active discussion on MS Outlook,
with frequent replies from Outlook MVPs, expert users, etc. Although
I've found the microsoft.public.word newsgroup, it seems to be pretty
"dead," without much in the way of meaningful contributions. Is there
another newsgroup that addresses MS Word issues, which has more
activity? Or some other good reference source? I've tried MS's pages
(support.microsoft.com) and lots of Google searches ... but cannot
find help for the specific question I have (which I posted in
microsoft.public.word, but won't repeat here).

Thanks!
Adam

Try some of the more general Office newsgroups. They seem to get more
traffic than the Word-specific ones, from what I've seen. M.p.office.misc
may be a good choice...

Underneath microsoft.public.word is a fairly rich hierarchy of newsgroups.
44, in fact. See
http://groups-beta.google.com/groups/dir?sel=33606782&expand=1 . It's best
to focus in on the proper group.
