An afternoon filled with colorful invective...
I'm using Word, of course.
What the strength analysis hath given in terms of simplicity of wording, it hath taken away with a vengeance in terms of formatting and graphics. Word has crashed on me more times than you can expect to occur in your typical demolition derby, and for some reason, has decided to abandon rules for displaying pages (pages that are supposed to be shown in landscape mode are shown in portrait, though the setting for the page says landscape).
And silly lamb that I am, I keep forgetting to hit Ctrl-S after, say, every third keystroke. As stupid as that sounds, it's the only way to get anything accomplished with this miserable software.
This is getting tedious.
Cheers...
P.S. I'm beginning to think I was a little too generous with the crack about "every third keystroke" (not often enough). Then again, once I realized - silly bumpkin! - that the paste operation was the key to my problem ("Paste a text box or graphic, crash the app."), life became easier... kind of. Farblegarg.

Do you patch sometimes? ;-)
Is your computer being kept well enough? ;-)
Sorry for asking that, but I am yet to recall a single crash of Word... and I do type a lot.
