Word is a style driven application. If you format the document with styles
rather than use manual formatting, there should be little need to use the
fonts dialog.
There is no way I am aware of to remove the theme fonts from the top of the
fonts list, but you can clear the recently used fonts list by editing the
registry. Copy and paste the following to a notepad document (example shown
is Word 2007).
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Word\Options]
"NoFontMRUList"="1"
Save it as FontListOff.reg
Merge it into the registry with Word closed. (right click the filename in
Windows Explorer and select Merge)
To turn it back on again
Change "NoFontMRUList"="1"
to
"NoFontMRUList"="0"
to start the list again (empty).
As for the mouse issues, Word has always made extensive use of keyboard
shortcuts (the vast majority of which remain the same in Word 2007) and you
can add to these with your own personal choices. Your fingers need rarely
leave the keyboard.
