Reduce Microsoft Word launch times

[robg adds: Interestingly, this option is Office-wide switch -- turn off WYSIWYG menus in Word, and you'll also disable them in Excel and PowerPoint. You can also disable them in Excel or PowerPoint (the effect is still Office-wide). Of course, the setting is found in an entirely different location in those two apps: Go to Tools » Customize » Customize Toolbars/Menus, not Preferences. At the bottom right of this window, uncheck WYSIWYG font menus.]
I recall from when I had to live more in Office that this kind of change-in-one-reset-in-all behavior was fairly common. It was also common, as Rob points out in this case, for the switches to be located in different places. Since in that environment I mostly thought of the universal settings as a good thing, I didn't keep notes on the particulars, but it's definitely something for Office users to be aware of.
