Using 32 worksheets sounds like you are doing a lot of data 
management with inter realtionships from one sheet to the next. 
You likely should be using a data management program rather than 
a spreadsheet unless of course you are doing some _really_ 
intensive number crunching.

Going back to AW.  In other words is MS Works Word (for lack of a 
better term) a lousy word processor that no one need use because 
MS Office has MS Word? Do you think MS Works would provide most 
people all the wp, ss or db that they need? My guess is likely.

The only reason most people use the Office suite is because that 
is what they use at work so that's what they get.  Nothing like 
having a Lamborgini contact for a word processor on your desk. 
(That comparison might be generous!  Perhaps a Mercedes 600 
series?  There are other word processors out there that some 
suggest are better than word.  (McDonalds has served billions but 
does that make them good?)
