MSW is famous for destroying huge works like books or theses.
A German computer magazine (I think it was c't) recently tested the
ability of
different word processors to process big documents with footnotes,
registers,
lists etc, and MSW became bad grades - if you choose to use a word
processor,
use OpenOffice.org!
None of my colleagues, even those with several years of experience
with
MS-Word, is able to do that.
It *is* possible if you know how and are very careful (split the text in
chapters, safe and backup often etc.), but OpenOffice.org is better
for that -
besides any TeX, of course. ;-)
Another important thing: *only* MS-Word can read your Word-
document, and of
course only the right version (M$ won't guarantee, that Word-2005
prints
out your document the same way as Word-2000).
That's not true since about Word 98; and there are a lot of other word
processors that can import MSW-Docs (e.g. OOo again).
