You are comparing apples with pears.
MS Word is a "Word Processor"; OPW is DTP software. One of the major
differences between the two types of program is the ability (or lack of it)
to handle pictures.
The comparison should be with MS Publisher - which I, personally, find very
difficult to use - which I have to sometimes when I get sent unfinished
work in that format.
