Carpenter #1: I need you to cut this board down to four feet in length.
Carpenter #2: Okay, I'll break it off at the four-foot point with my
hammer.
Carpenter #1: Why a hammer? Why not use a saw?
Carpenter #2: But I really, REALLY like hammers.
Okay, that's not entirely on target here, but it seems like you're asking
not for a genuine comparison, but for support of your predetermined
preference, one which shows some pretty big gaps in your knowledge of what
Word can do.

the COMPANY, not for you. Hey, if they choose Word, and it forces you to
get good at using it, that's one more skill to add to your resume.
