If I may ask, have you had such good results with all the versions of
Word you've used, or is there some minimum or preferred version of
Office that you find the best? I regularly use Word 2000, and have
tried 2003 - but didn't see any particular improvement in its
behaviour. (Note the "I didn't see" part, please! :-)
If you can recommend one particular version of Word that's worked very
well for you for large documents, that would be a helpful tip for a
lot of us!
