Its true (without wishing to appear too cynical) that the average office user is pretty illiterate - word is a typewriter on steroids and excel is a V8 calculator. They use three paragraph marks to put extra whitespace between paragraphs. They number pages manually so that when you add half a page of text at the beginning of a document the page numbers end up half way down the page. Businesses wil spend thousands on computers and begrudge hundreds on training. But with users like that its better the devil they know, than a new devil with a new interface and a new paradigm. In other words people are often better off with what they know unless they are prepared to spend a lot of time/money on training. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
