Sean,

I was recently working on a test (for a department, not myself)  that
Word decided to autonumber in some places. It got so bad that multiple
undos couldn't fix the problems. I wanted to keep the document in Word
(so I wouldn't need to support the document), but after fighting with
Word I succumbed and imported into Frame and fixed the problem in less
than 5 minutes.

The recent versions of Word are unmitigated disasters. MS should port
Mac Word 5 to OS X and Windows XP and they would have a real success
and a lean mean writing machine.

...Mike
