That newsgroup is 'formally' non-denominational ... Word, WP, AmiPro/WordPro, 
Wordstar etc are all on topic AFAIK. But Word is indeed discussed most.
And I am _NOT_, repeat *** N O T ***, deserting WP. But at the office it has 
been 'decided' to use and support Word exclusively. I am thoroughly disgusted 
at that ... But as I am one of the support people I _have_ to learn Word :-(
Currently I am making a deatiled list of what Word can't do and WP (any or 
all versions) can, and vice versa. The current conclusion is that Word is 
nearly useless for medium to advanced users: it lacks far too many things 
which WP has!
If you -- or anyone else for that matter -- can contribute to that list I'd 
appreciate it very much. Objective, testable and tested differences only 
please. No opinions and beliefs.
