"I left out Publisher purposely 'cause I rate it even lower than Word"
But Publisher has pretty templates. I like to play with Microsoft toys. I like to play with them until they break, just like when a cat plays with a baby bird. Feathers everywhere, happy kitty, re-install Office because Microsoft experienced a fatal error... Yeah, play is fun.

Thanks...now I can't get the image of a bloated word processor out of my

Totally agree. A significant problems I find with Word documents are the
result of previous writers ignorance of the program's capabilities and their
attempts to make it do what PageMaker, In Design, FrameMaker, or some other
layout program can do in their sleep. (I left out Publisher purposely
'cause I rate it even lower than Word...just my opinion.)
