criminal practices

[fpb]

They probably haven't waited for me to say this, but the fact that Microsoft has made the most recent version of Word incompatible from earlier ones (as I understand it) is really criminal. Moving a document from one computer to another risks wrecking it, and adding hours of dreary work and proofreading to what you had expected to have to do. And all to force us to buy the most recent version. Creeps!

I use Open Office also. I can transfer the same document between my Windows, Linux, and Mac machines, and edit it on all of them. It handles most Word files. The only thing I use Word for is professional documents that I have to send to other Word users, and only when they require forms and templates and fancy macros.
