>I hear that, there is proxy encapsolated somewhere in MS Word how can I find and operate it?

Proxy: "A person authorized to act for another; an agent or substitute." (www.dictionary.com)

In computer terms, a proxy usually refers to a device (usually a program) used in a network, that connects your internal network to the Internet. Further explanation at http://www.pcwebopedia.com/TERM/p/proxy_server.html

Programs like MS-Word or even e-mail programs don't usually provide networking capabilities themselves, they use the networking capabilities provided by the operating system.

For example, if MS-Word saves a document, it doesn't care whether the document is saved on a local disk or remotely over the network. It gives a command to save a certain file, and if it is a remote computer (over the network), a component of the operating system (the redirector) will translate the commands to the appropriate network commands, for the file server.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
