Anyone else notice that Word just kept getting worse and worse with each release since, oh....Word 2.0?

Use OpenOffice.org. It will cure you of your need to run MS Office.

And it's 99.99% compatible.

" And it's 99.99% compatible."

I stopped using MS Office last year, and am now weaning some of my staff away from it. I rarely have a problem opening anything with an MS format. And actually, the sweetest feature of OpenOffice is the Export to PDF feature. We see a lot of PDF's flying around, and OO makes it easty to take a page from Word or a Website, copy it, and make it a PDF file, with functioning hyperlinks. Sweet, sweet feature. And OO's Math and Draw apps are simply awesome if you need those capabilities.

Why then all the whining about needing another format no one else can read? We obviously don't need it, and if you're actually that compatible you obviously don't either.
