Re: Why so many??

On the other hand, when someone I knew had to write a book, and did it in MS Word, and noticed she had only 70 pages out of about 500 left after a save, I had to take a three hour train journey to help her out. In the end, I only got the project to the printer through Open Office.

In other words, assuming that Word won't screw you is a really sure-fire way to get screwed.

Writing long and/or complicated documents with MS-Word is not really a safe thing to do. This is why many attorneys and government agencies use WordPerfect.

OpenOffice-Writer is a useful replacement for MS-Word, but it isn't nearly as good as WordPerfect-8.x (the last version ported to UNIX [this is WPDOS not WPWIN]).

I do hope that the KWord developers set their sights on WordPerfect rather than MS-Word.
