There's nothing like Master Documents to cause a user to become a
Word-hater. I actually check every new release of Word to see if it's been
fixes (hasn't).
Still, for the most part, Word does its job well. I just don't prefer to use
it for any of my manuals. Letters, memos, short reports, fine. Anything over
50 pages is out of the question (for me).
