I have plenty of problems with MS too. Not as glitch free as you mention. However, I agree with your comments about switching. More of a Can't beat them Join them kinda thing though. I prefer WP and still have v.6.1 on one of my computers but both computers came with MS installed. Office on one and Works w/Word on the other. I started to use Excel more and before I knew it I was using Word and so on and so on. Also when it comes to swapping and sharing files with others. Many clients and friends can't use the WP files and when I convert them to TXT they get messed up. Easier just conforming and converting to MS. It is too bad that Microsoft is so powerfull that they can, in a sense, force people to have to use their product. Don't get me wrong though, MS Word and especially Excel are good and I am happy with them. Just wouldn't have been my first choices.
