I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that I loved Word 4.0. Which was... 1990, or thereabouts. It did everything I needed it to, in about three different ways, but wasn't this bloated unintuitive mess we now have. I still miss it. Once upon a time, I was able to set styles and have them work; no more.

I actually still kinda fondly miss PFS:Write. I used that on my Apple II for years. Then Appleworks, but I seem to remember liking PFS more.

Hey. New board.
I like LaTeX. And am rather fond of Pages, for most of my duties. Neither of them lets me do a really good merge from an arbitrary spreadsheet, though, so Word serves a major purpose for me.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Microsoft have a conversion program available. You install it, and it will allow you to open and edit the Office 2007 files in earlier versions of the applications.

Question on exchange server. Can exchange server calenders be configured as true client server - that is one database there is shared access to? Because I saw an installation the other day where everybody had their own copy of every calendar, and they just synched to and from the exchange server. Was the person who set it up on crack or is that how you really have to do it?
Signed, managed to avoid dealing with exchange server until now.
On edit: this does not involve remote clients. Everyone is on the same internal network.

I am trying to watch a store bought DVD on my computer which is runing windows xp pro. I know I have a DVD drive, but I can't play the video because I need to purchase a "video decoder"???? What the heck? VLC won't play the DVD either.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is there a way in Apple Mail to specify the time you want the message delivered? I poked around a little bit, but couldn't find anything.
