I work as a contractor. As such, I am expected to use whatever word
processor my client has. So, I use them all with varying degrees of expertise.
In sympathy with those who stick with the word processor they know, it
takes a bit of learning to go from one word processor to another if you want
to do something nice. If you just want to insert words, you can pop from
one word processor to another with little effort.
