Interesting. I have the latest too, and it is much slower than Word 97. I wonder what I'm doing wrong with open office.
Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

AH!
See, I haven't used Word 97 in... a really long time. So I'm comparing it to later versions of Word.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Huh. I still use Word 97 on my work PC.
Up until recently we still did a lot of development on Access 97, some of which had to use VBA to control Word.

I haven't used '97 since Word 2000 came out.
I still use 2000 on one of my home machines, and Word XP on another.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I still use Office 97. I've never liked 2000, especially the abominations it laughingly refers to as "help" files.

Does Earthlink require you to use their software to connect via dialup?

No. I've never installed it, and I've been with Earthlink for roughly forever. They keep offering new versions; I keep sneering.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yup. I tried the earthlink software, years ago, and ditched it straightaway. I've moved on to greener pastures since then, but I was always happy with earthlink.

I found Open Office really annoying in a couple of ways. For one, I can't do the edits to files I want to make in order to clean them up to drop into an HTML template. Open Office doesn't allow you to select hard carriage returns, for instance--they're not recognize the same way Word does.
That said, it's way cheaper than MS Office, so I'll struggle along with Open Office and my beta of Office 2007 (which I still don't like much).
