Hi Morey, If this is addressed to me, or mostly to me, all I can say is yes, I assure you that Word can provide all the functionality you're looking for, and more, but it never occurred to me that you might not already be familiar with Word, or in fact have it and use it. Rather, I thought that you had some special reasons for wanting to see if you could achieve some of the same things with the built-in Windows text processors, or HJ Pad, instead. What I'm saying is very conventional. Word is the main serious word processor in use today, and has a multitude of capabilities that makes it enormously different from these others. So, I hope you do take a look at Word, and if you have to make an effort and take some time to learn to use it, be aware that it's no waste of time. Word's the real thing for serious word processing. Notepad is sort of a jazzed-up version of a plain text editor, and WordPad attempts to go a step farther and offer a few features that make it resemble Word. But Word is where all the power and flexibility and capability are. Good luck. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Morey Worthington" <blindwop@xxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, October 20, 2006 8:34 PM Subject: Re: HJ Pad or ?
