Just a quickie.
This has probably been covered here before, but...
To disable the Auto* macros in MSWord6, which 'Concept'+'MDMA' rely on, do
the following. (The method in the help file/manual does not work entirely)
1. Make a new macro
Tools -> Macro -> <Call it something> -> Edit
Sub Main
DisableAutoMacros
End Sub
2. Save it
File -> Close -> <say yes to save> <store in global template>
3. Edit the progman/start menu entry and add
"/m What You Called it"
(minus the quotes) to the command line section.
