Did they ever get the easy to use macros that were avail years ago in 
WP? I won a free copy of Word in a drawing and couldn't stand it so I 
reverted to the Star Office package due to price.

Why anybody in this day an age would CHOOSE DOS anything is beyond me.  
 

Well I'm staying with rbase dos (4.5++) for now because it's so simple, 
fast and bulletproof that one can run an entire business within a single 
app. on a marginal system (4 Celeron workstations and one Pentium 
server, 3 printers, none of which are those silly windows printers).  I 
even use it for most of my wordprocessing and only rarely open the Star 
package when I need something to be real pretty or something.

Reports of the death of DOS have been somewhat exaggerated....
