If Bo reads these anything like I do, then he probably didn't even 
notice it was from the same person.  He also might only read the 
messages that interest him.  Unless your name comes up a lot here, I 
generally don't remember specific people (then again I'm pretty bad with 
names).  In short, don't assume on your 2nd post that people know 
*anything* about you.

CVS can actually be used quite well with Word, but there are some 
significant limitations when you compare to it's power with text 
documents (all the reasons Bo mentioned and then some).

I don't know of any MS word plugins, but I would recommend trying out 
TortoiseCVS.  Sounds like you are already familiar with that.
