Right now, I'm using Word to create a 30-page report, and I lost all
my images and had to re-import them (I got the Big Red X, if anyone
else has had the pleasure). Also, the autonumber and Table of
Contents features are quirky, and I can't seem to work around a couple
of problems.
Word 97 certainly promises alot, it's just quirky in the delivery of
those promises.
