Word 2007 has the nasty habit of turning any ordinal number you enter (like 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc) into a formatted number where the text following the number is a superscript. Here's how to turn that off.
- Click on the Office button in the upper corner and select the Word Options button from the bottom of the menu that is shown.
- In the left hand pane, click Proofing.
- In the Replace section, uncheck the box next to Ordinals (1st) with superscript.
- Click OK as needed to save your changes.

Open Word 2007 documents directly in Firefox
Microsoft has created a plug-in for Firefox that allows you to read docx files (files from Microsoft Word 2007 and later) directly in Firefox even if you don't have Microsoft Office or Word on your computer. Even if you have Office, it's still nicer to read the docs directly in the browser. You can get the free plug-in at http://www.codeplex.com/OpenXMLViewer. Just go there and click on the "Download" link. You then can choose your OS, they have options for Windows and linux.
