Word Newsgroup Address???

[Guest]

I have just figured out how to use a newsgroup reader (Forte Agent) to read
this discussion group after using the internet for the last 7 months. I
cannot however, figure out which address matches this one, there does not
appear to be one for "Word General Questions (it would be nice if there was a
chart matching the labels of the internet site with actual newsgroup
addresses). The internet site is very straight forward with it's labels but
I can see advantages with Agent. Can someone share the actual address for
this particular group and any other hints with a newsgroup reader? Thank you.

This group is
microsoft.public.word.docmanagement

If you scrutinize the link while in the web interface, you will see the
newsgroup name, which will always be in the format
"microsoft.public.word.[something]" That should help with other groups.

Yes, the disjunction between web interface and newsreader interface can be
annoying.
