JohninKansas: Neat. Reinforces what I thought - avoid Word 2007 like the plague - I'm sticking with Office 2003! Though these days I also use the OpenOffice WP which is free and works just fine (and is faster than M$ too). Microsoft keep 'improving' Office in order to sell you the new version when in reality it hasn't been broken for years, and they end up confusing and annoying everyone (well Ballmer's in charge now so no surprise there). Back in 1991 I was producing official documents for the Navy using Wordstar and Harvard Graphics on a green-screen IBM XT. Printed on a Laser printer they are visually identical to the output of 'modern' WP's (except no colour of course, that came 2 years later). These were big documents too of 200-300 pages. And the paragraph numbering worked first time, unlike in Word, which still doesn't after all these years ... infix operators ... NROFF ... tag directives ... blah ... blah ... (dragged away by men in white coats).
