I'm not a huge fan of Microsoft. But:
(1) Office 2001 is my favorite of the bunch I've used so far. I love
Entourage. I like the new Powerpoint. I try other browsers but come back to
IE in the end (though Opera certainly looks intriguing in its preview
release)
(2) I have a love/hate relation with Word. Word 2001 is the least
troublesome for me, but it still drives me crazy.
I wish Microsoft would give us a word processor that would let us process
words, easily and powerfully deal with structured documents (styles,
multi-chapter docs, etc.) and NOT try to think for me. I find myself
spending as much time yelling at Word, trying to figure out how to undo
something it has done (usually paragraph numbering schemes) not exactly the
way I want, as I do being productive and creative.
I have other WPs and use them occassionally -- Nisus (just not compatible
enough, but what a powerful word processor!), FrameMaker (if I have my
druthers, this is what I prefer to do my large article, book, etc writing
in).
But I've given up hope that MS will return Word to what I would want though
-- I think the pressures are apparently too great to bloat it up. Too bad.
Bottom line: I'm happy with my purchase of 2001. I'll be upgrading ASAP to
the Carbon version. I used to declare my Mac a Microsoft Free Zone. Not any
more.
