I have Office 2007 installed and Actual Window MENU installed (note NOT AWM, just the Menu part) and I find that Word 2007 totally ignores Actual Window Menu. Right clicking on the window title produces nothing. Double-clicking it produces a DIFFERENT and Word-specific behavior of displaying the document double-paned. I am guessing that Office 2007 has internal settings that somehow override AWM. Is this right, and can anything be done? Thanks

One more question: does it happen just with Word or with other programs from MS Office 2007 package?

Do you mean the actual configuration file or just some settings? I haven't changed anything in the configuration - I just installed it and stareted it up.
I have noticed this issue with ANY program that skins itself. Office 2007 skins itself (and yes it happens with the other Office programs) and also the following programs skin themselves and ignore Actual Window Manager:
Apple Safari
Realplayer
Webroot Spysweeper
Logitech Setpoint
Apple QuickTime
and others, I'm guessing. It's a bit frustrating, because one of the resaons I switched from Actual Title Buttons to Actual Windows Manager was to get around this problem, as the above self-skinning programs do not display the ATB buttons either. (Another reason is that I have started using Windowblinds, which is not compatible with Actual Title Buttons).
However, Office 2007 is an exception in this regard - it DOES display the buttons, though they're not pretty, yet it doesn't show the custom menu.
It's annoying that self-skinning programs don't supply some sort of option to switch their skins off. (Peraps there is a registry setting in Windows that will do this?) I'm using Windowblinds, I'd prefer THAT skin to be used in all my programs, not just whatever skin the program-maker has decided in his/her wisdom I should use. Blah!

Thanks for your report John. You can send Configuration by opening Actual Window Menu's configuration module-> File->Send Configuration->Send to the Tech Support.

The cause of this issue is that most self-skinned programs have no general Windows title bar in their main windows so there's no "hotspot" in such window to right-click on (calling window's system menu).

Let me suggest you the following workaround: despite the above-mentioned absence of general title bar, most self-skinned programs still can be controlled via system menu - just try to right click not the window but its corresponding taskbar button.
