Do we Filter WORD?

WOW (Woody's Office Watch), a very good Office newsletter, had some more
examples of this in their latest issue.  Basically, it happens because
the Thesaurus can't find the specified phrase, so it's grabbing the next
one in alphabetical order.  In other words, if you know the Word
thesaurus well, you can have oodles of nasty fun with it :).  For more
on WOW (an excellent source of news and tips for MS Office users) go to
