I rather find the apology that Word can be made to function reliably ONLY IF one reprograms it to be begging the question. It is usually thought that one buys software that functions without the user having to fix the program they just spent a few hundred dollars on.

I have to agree numbered lists are Word's Achilles heal, although I can 
(usually) get them to work.

I worked for 10 years at a company where we used Word to create professional 
documentation with page counts reaching into the thousands with very consistent 
template styles and rare file corruption. We had the advantage of a developer 
who could make Word do almost anything and had custom tool bars and automated 
documentation generation built into Word. The flexibility allowed by VBA 
programming is a great strength of Word.

That said, there is something comforting about the stolid reliability of 
FM--once you get it figured out.
