EDIT.. CURIOSITY GOT THE BETTER OF ME. I've just downloaded the whole shebang. I'll have to strip my disk anyway when W7 RC expires.
I've often posted about hanging onto my old dealer's copy of Word Perfect. It's 15 years old I would think and all I want. Except: I have to shut it down via Task Manager now I'm on W7. Several copies will (almost) co-exist if I don't, and this causes chaos. But mostly, the spell checker is finally failing to meet modern standards. Even Firefox is out-performing it sometimes!
I keep a copy of Open Office's WP going so that I can read other folks Word docs.
At first, I thought it was rather nice, but there are some things which are so different that I can't get my old brain cells around them. I guess if I had time, I could get to know it, but I just can't afford the delay.
I'm needing to go to Word. I hate to do this, but so many people are cross-reviewing with me, that I just have to.
If I load the new beta, will I be able to read old - 03 ish - .doc files? Most of the writers are still on that. My look at 07 was like Keef's, very short lived.
