Since I never use equations, and you can insert graphics (try loading a jpeg or a GIF), I find it very good. It processes words very well, has a good spellchecker, allows full layout control (though I haven't figured out how to do margin notes - I like those in my CV) and has more functions than you can shake a stick at. As somebody pointed out, Corel were strictly speaking correct, as the equation editor and graphics editor are separate apps (but I think it was wrong of them to not mention this). So yes, I think it is a very useful wordprocessor - I understand your complaint, but I don't agree with it. All I know is that this version of WP would have done an excellent job of my 3rd year dissertation. So let's leave it at that - I'm happy, you're not. > > -Stardivision made the same a long time ago, and you really get a fully > functional > office suite. > > Now take your conclusions. That WP is perfect for my needs, and isn't slow and bloaty like SO? ;) A turd is a turd even if it is big, steaming and delivered in wrapping paper. I still have to meet anyone who used all the functions of word 2.0, let alone word97...
