I used Lotus Smart Suite as long as I could hold out. 123 allowed saving in Excel and Quattro Pro formats and Ami Pro was the best word processing program out there. Whe I was forced to use Excel only I still set it to operate off the slash "/" key until I got used to the drop down menus.

Now it's all Microsoft, take it or leave it...

“Ami Pro was the best word processing program out there. “

Absolutely! It was far and away the best for years. Word Pro was barely okay and Word never took on to the context menu strength or logic of either.

Both were a dream to use 12 years ago. Way ahead of MS.

I still miss Ami Pro and am surprised Lotus and then IBM did not go to put a thorn under Bills skin by releasing them to the open source community.

And my daughter, now a USN officer complained all through college about having to use word. She was using Ami Pro when she was 8 and loved it!
