Since I heard it here first I'm reporting it here first, from MSFT's Office Enterprise Insider email newsletter. Apparently they never checked Windows 95. It's there, too. Regards CB --Bug? Joke? Coincidence? Office 97 Thesaurus Entry Had Some Users Wondering You may have read recently, either online or in print, about a "bug" in the Microsoft Office 97 thesaurus. When a user searches the thesaurus for the phrase, "Unable to follow directions," the thesaurus does not have a matching entry for that phrase, and thus returns a list of words and phrases that are close alphabetically but have no connection with the original phrase. In this case, the phrase "unable to have an erection" is highlighted in the list as the entry that is closest to the search phrase. This is simply a coincidence; there is no bug in the thesaurus, nor is this some sly joke sneaked in by one of our developers!
