Writing to the Word Development Team

Got a burning desire to let Microsoft know what they can do to improve Word? Wouldn't it be great if you could send a personal e-mail to someone on the Word development team; perhaps bend their ear for a while to let them know about some great idea you have?

Fortunately, Microsoft provides at least two direct ways you can contact them with ideas for future versions of Word. To take advantage of the first method, send a message to the following address:

mswish@microsoft.com

Make sure you include the product name ('Word' will do) in the subject line.

As an alternative, you can use the following terribly long URL to jump directly to the Microsoft Web page where you can make suggestions for Microsoft products:

http://register.microsoft.com/regsys/custom/wishwizard.asp?from=cu&fu=/isapi/gomscom.asp?target=/mswish/thanks.htm

Nobody outside Microsoft seems to know how well the company pays attention to the unsolicited feedback it receives through either e-mail or the Web, but it can't hurt to unburden yourself and pass on your recommendations. Give it a try!
