If I had my druthers, I'd stop Word development at Word 97 and set the
developers to spend the rest of their lives fixing bugs. This NSW
goverment department still runs on Word 97, although I'm stuck with a
rogue 2002 machine. I have Word 97 at home and I guard it jealously.
The reality of life is that Microsoft does its best to remove
everything but the latest version from the market, so you might find
that Word 2002 is the oldest Word you can get.
At a Westies meeting I heard Warren Lewington speak well of
WordPerfect. Maybe the time has come to promote a switch from a
soul-destroying Word to a replacement (No Frame wars, please).
Is WordPerfect a workable, realistic, liveable replacement for Word in
professional TW practice?
