Any comments on Word 2007?

Um...that I'm not sure why there were any problems?

It is possible to install RoboHelp without Word installed, but I had
to click through several messages first. (I just installed RoboHelp on
a system with Office 2007.) It showed me the three flavors of Word it
wanted me to select from. When I clicked Next, it asked if I wanted to
continue installing RH without one of the three flavors of Word
installed. I did, but I can't open any projects in RoboHelp for Word
and I (obviously) can't produce printed output from any RoboHelp HTML
projects.

This is a change, though, from earlier versions, where Word was
required. I don't remember if this change was in place for X5 or
not...it was a long time ago and I had a desired version of Word.
