If you use the Webdings font and type NYC, you get an eye, a heart, and a city skyline. This may be intentional - I believe Wingdings has been around longer than Webdings, so the designers of the latter font may have deliberately encoded an “I love New York” message as a riff off of the conspiracy theories about the Wingdings NYC story. ---

googlebombing isn’t restricted to just one end of the political spectrum. While the #1 result for “failure” is George W. Bush’s whitehouse page, the #3 result is Michael Moore’s web page. Jimmy Carter’s whitehouse page is #12. ---

I have this feature on my version of Word at work, although I don’t recall what specific version it is. You can highlight a word, right click, and select ‘look up’ for the dictionary feature. ---

In Word XP, there’s a file at …Application Data\Microsoft\Proof\CUSTOM.DIC… I wonder what on earth that file extension means? Oh, wait, there’s a clue when I press F7: ‘Not in dictionary’…‘Dictionary language’…‘Add to Dictionary’… 😛 ---
