it really isn't. it's quite scary, in fact. i have to re-install word at some point but am putting it off for the time being.

am also regretting having used endnote. i think it's overrated - very useful when it's working, but i'm totally paranoid it'll screw up, and if it does, very hard to fix. this is particularly relevant as i don't know what's going to happen to my files when i open them with proper word again, properly linked with endnote again...

sorry if you haven't used endnote that would make no sense at all.
