Too bad they realized the error of their ways, or there might have been
more WP converts!  Although I can understand trying to add more
power to an application that isn't always backwards compatible,
compromises are often in order to placate users who want to bring along
years worth of documents in a previous version. Only MS could be
arrogant enough to initially release a word processor that *wasn't*
backwards compatible! ;)
Merry Christmas!
Cheers,
Phil
