Paid nothing for?! We have per minute phone bills here - downloading something that big which turns out not to be "fully functional" at all is in fact a waste of money. Downloading large files over a pretty slow connection with per minute phone bills is not my idea of fun - at least I get some compensation if the program is worth it... It's not so much the fact that I don't like WP - in fact I think it is a good quality product - it's that it wasn't obvious that it would not be fully functional and I decided to spend my time online downloading it as I believed I'd be getting a good, truly fully functional package (which, incidentally, I do get from StarOffice). -- Charles
