Those version of Microsoft Word that i have used have this nifty auto-correction tool. You type a word wrong and if it's so obvious no other word will suffice it makes the changes for you.
For example when you type "i" anywhere in the page on it's own it's instantly corrected to "I". Another common one is when you type "teh" instead of "the". Good huh?
Now the list of common errors is stored somewhere in word and if you can get to it.. oh the possibilities. I'll tell you how to get there: From your MS Word menu bar, click on "Tools >> Autocorrect Settings". I'm not sure if it's the same for MS Word 2000 tho. Anyway you're looking to see something like this:
Now here's the fun part. This is your so-called friend'scomputer, so you go in there and set up Word to replace any occurence of "The" with "Le", "I" with "Ich", "is" with "est"... just use you imagination. You can even throw in a few profanities just for maximum effect. Just remember to set it up with regular words cos there's no use if the person wont notice and start compllainin till another two years have passed. Oh... you can replace their first name with "Ben" and thier surname with "Dover". Ben Dover, geddit? If they're female try Ivana Humpalot or Pussy Galore or Pussyfoot Peaches.
Now sit back and watch them over the next couple of weeks suffer. Of course you wont know anything about it. You'll pretend to be as baffled as they are. You can then walk in and be their Knight in shining armour when you've had enough of the joke.
One thing you wanna do though before you set out to mess with that list is to note down any changes you make. It's not fun when after a while when they keep sending assignments to lecturers with headings like "Le Study of Market Systems: An European Context by Homer Simpson". You wanna be able to restore it to what it was like before you decided to make an enemy out of your friend.
