Maybe we use different features. I acknowledge that Word 2000 is
considered stable, but Word 97 doesn't let me down. My current employer
is a NSW Government Department that still uses Word 97 as its default
word processor.

True, Bill Gates was determined to have Word supplant Word Perfect.
One of the reasons was the huge following that WP had in the legal
profession. That's a *lot* of word processor licences, and a massive,
rusted-on user base. Naturally, Gates wanted them for Microsoft and he
was prepared to make a special effort to get them.
Does anyone know if WP is still popular in the legal profession?
