G'day Harry
I was unaware that MS Word had caught up to WordPerfect. Perhaps in 
numbering only!!!
Its a real pity that Word Perfect never got their act together under the 
*nix system.
It was a clumsy jobbie when I last tried it about a year ago.
Too many Corp takeovers, I fear.

I feel that WP is still 'The One'  under a  MS o/s.
Though perhaps it generates the same ire as vi and ed, or Vim, for me!!
cheers Tony
