Sounds like you have version of Office that's so old, the apps aren't OS X bundles. I didn't think those would run any more. If you right-click on Word and you don't see "Show package contents" in the menu, then it isn't a bundle.

Ah, that's what's happening. Thanks for clearing up the little mystery. There are so many times when I think, "That's funny, I wonder why it's like that" about something -- especially computers -- and usually I have to move on without my curiosity being satisfied. Every little tidbit like this helps me delude myself that I actually am beginning to understand a little....

I am a retired researcher and all along my working time I experienced the same. As soon I learned something new about a subject, I experienced the same increase in the number of things I was not knowing about it

Thanks a lot for your contribution to this thread
