Can you give me an impression of the stability of WP8? Occasionally WP7 just 
stops doing anything. Mainly after hitting a lot of keys without waing for 
screen updates I think.
Another problem is of course the co-called "converted" files saved by Word7 
as WP5.1 ... Usually some styles are converted incorrectly. E.g. a Word style 
is converted into a closed WP style -- but the end-code for that style is put 
in an inappropriate plce or nowhere at all.
Regrettably I have to live with that. Word7 is the 'official' standard at the 
office. It's a good thing most of the conversion problems can be solved 
easily. I wrote a few WP5.1 macro's to eliminate superfluous codes and styles 
etc.

For me it was the first release of WP5.1 as it offered quite a bit more 
functionality than the Wordstar we were using. Happily we got an update 
fairly soon -- that WP5.1 was rather buggy.
