I've been a user since StarOffice in the late 1990s, but there are some things that Word just does better. And more
reliably (including virus attraction).

I've seen no need to upgrade from Word97, for the few things that it does that OO doesn't.

>> I've seen no need to upgrade from Word97,...

Are you mistaking Word 2003 for an upgrade? I still have Word 97 on my old family computer at home and Word 2003 at work and on my laptop. '97 works fine and if it ducks even one virus, that's gravy.
