For the sake of completeness, I'll add my general impression
of Word for Windows...which is great!  The user interface is
near perfect, and important features missing from Mac Word
(automatic numbering, character-based styles, macro programming
language, etc.) have been included.  I think Microsoft finally
got it right!  It's almost worth moving back to my PC for.  :-)
