Hi, Please excuse me for putting my 2 cents in but, I think the Original post is still valid. It seems to have been lost in the war of words following though. It seems silly to not be able to just set a default format of your choosing. Especially since Word formats are pretty much what 90% of the world uses. Regardless of how easy it is to export or save as a word document, that doesn't mean you want to do it every time. After all, technology main purpose is to make our lives easier, not make us have to repeat time wasting tasks. On the flip side, I didn't hear the slight in Anne's use of the word complain. But then again, Its all in the eye of the beholder. But I think this might have just been a misunderstanding.
