I just did this from the other side yesterday--using word perfect,
after nearly three years of just lyx . . .
*shudder*
how barbaric. Spaces don't take care of themselves, I had to
configure it to use lpr, won't save as postscript, the screen letters
were too small (especially with this virus puffing up my eyes), and
making them big changed the document. And figuring out why it was
underlining stuff in blue . . . red was easy; misspellings and words I
didn't know. TUrned out blue wasn't additions to the doocument, but
it's alleged grammar checker. Big blue lines for stuff that was
correct (though it wasn't as bad as the one in word 5), but only a
tiny, nearly invisible dot for a sentence ending in period comma . . .
I felt so *dirty* :) I had to rush & shower . . .
