Yes use NaturalText and WP but, on some projects, have been forced by
person bigger than me to use NaturalWord and Word. (Hey it only takes
me 8 times longer to do it in NaturalWord/Word than in NaturalText/WP -
great management decision) Perhaps Word is an ok wordprocessor for
typing letters to Mom but it really, really sucks for anything more
sohisticated. I keep finding things that Word either can't do or the
one way to make it do is with a multi-step, jury-rigged,
cross-your-fingers-and-pray method. The fact that Office is eating
Corel alive in market share is proof positive to me that the best
product rarely, if ever, is the one that wins (which also probably
explains why we end up with the leaders that we do in this country.)

Word create a bulleted list with paragraph numbering and watch it screw
that up as it did all of last night and don't get her started on the
fact that Word only has newspaper columns"
