It includes Quattro; I thought that was dead. Nice to know. Thanks.

And it is still the only mass-market word processor that does something that AFAIK only lawyers need - Tables of Authority for collecting references to existing case law in a brief into a consolidated list.

But enough people have sympathized with me over Word's shortcomings that I guess I needn't belabour the point. ...But maybe I will anyway, to this extent: With each new PC I shell out real money for a copy of the real MS Office, including Access. But long ago I took up the habit of teaching each new PC to default to WordPad for .rtf documents, and that's what I use to write one- or two-page documentation on simple commands and utilities. I've been saving Word for the more ambitious stuff, especially if it involves chapter headings and cross-references. Now that I think I'm giving up on that, I guess Word is relegated to reading MS .docx documents that others send me. I can't think of anything else I'd want it for. I really miss WordPerfect. --- This message and any attachments are intended only for the use of the addressee and may contain information that is privileged and confidential.
