Word has some incredibly frustrating idiosyncracies. I've worked with enough
versions that I expect them and get one of the big work-around manuals
whenever there's a new version of Word that I must use.

There's no doubt that FrameMaker is the most stable of the two
word-processing programs. However, by comparison with FrameMaker, I really
like some of Word's real features, such as ability to see spaces, and some
of the flexibility in formatting.

Good luck to us all, with a new operating system on the horizon.

Oooh yes. I got the undying admiration of several of the developers
here after fixing a problem with their project requirements template
that they'd spent days wrestling with. They finally turned to their new
technical author as a last resort.

I listened to the symptoms, checked out the template, unchecked the
'Automatically Update' box on the Normal style, and checked it back in
again. Total time to fix: five minutes.
