I think Word is good. You missed the context. Ed asked how the new versions made your life easier than the previous version.

The first time I used a word processor (Wordwise on the BBC Micro in 1980) I was incredibly impressed by how much easier it made producing a legible good looking document. I then went through the WordStar and WordPervert phases - when I saw Word for Windows for the first time it blew me away and increased my productivity several times over. I hated Office 2007 when I first saw it but had to use it in order to demonstrate it to a class; I soon realised that it was actually easier to use because the various menu options are grouped in a more logical manner. Open Office is great but does not have the functionality I need - specifically mail merge automation from within VFP. (I've not tried that with 2007 yet, that's still on 2000 - if it ain't broke don't fix it <g>) John Weller 01380 723235 07976 393631 > > They do NOT make your life easier/better.
