Nothing really, if you ask me. Whichever is the case, I still end up converting the file to a real MS Word file using the computer if I really want to give a copy to a sightie. I can't say it's one is more stable than the other since the large file problem happens to both types, which isn't a surprise since they are similar. BTW, about what I wrote in my post, that should be 97-2002 6.0/95 RTF (*.doc).
