I lost the first three chapter of a novel on a quirk by Word, in… 1991. That day I ordered Nisus, and never looked back. Don't touch anything word, I agree. As I agree that Word 5.1 was usable (I had to use it at the office). But nowadays Word just wants to do too much, so it's heavy and complicated. Fortunately, in a way, so they lost the chance to monopolize 100% of the market. And of course, it still dreams of monopoly, that's why it is often difficult, even with .rtf, to «translate» a text in Word. I was told they do it on purpose.
