Is Word good at positioning floats yet? It always used to annoy me because
I'd have to shift figures and tables around by hand so that things would
paginate agreeably, and then redo it if things changed. Having to approach
positioning-for-good-pagination somewhat manually was dreadful because
things would shift around if you mailed it to a Mac Word user or
something.

Also, is Word good at vector graphics yet? My diagrams in LyX with XFig,
etc. look excellent and I keep seeing clearly-rasterised monstrosities
(and correspondingly monstrous filesizes) coming from my Word-using
colleagues. I know Word has its built-in drawing thing, but how many of
the typical Microsoft-platform third-party graphics applications can
generate Word-ready non-rasterised graphics? Can Word cope with EPS yet,
or even SVG?

I'm out of date with Word, though, so these issues may not be so bad now.
