good to hear you got it working. too bad it meant having to make compromises 
on security. 

WP is a great example of why relying on closed source is so dangerous. it 
would be much nicer if WP fans could find an open word processor that works 
for them. what features of WP do people consider to be "critical" over what 
else is out there?

i also noticed in the original mail that it was said that MS Word doesn't run 
under linux. that's not actually true. it runs disturbingly well with Wine.
