Talking to the wrong person, here. I avoid M$ software like the pox upon humanity that it is. I use Linux and LibreOffice (was OpenOffice, but I'm a non-Oracle person) for software which much interface to M$ Orifice. I've heard that WP is one of the best word processors ever. I've never used it. It was destroyed in the marketplace by M$ "dirty tricks" and corporate greed and stupidity. For true document preparation, I'd likely try to learn Scribus or LaTex or LyX.
