I quite like Word now that I'm forced to use it at work (and therefore at
home too if I want to be able to transfer files easily), but Ami Pro still
has features that Word doesn't - such as the ability to number pages
properly without needing a degree in astrophysics, or the bizarre stats in
the grammar check... Gunnings Fog index??? :-)

Hi Jon

I agree totally. We loved Amì (I had it running from the days of
Samda) but WordPro is different. However, we live with WordPro as
we've never learned to love Word.
