Me too. Especially if you've seen the slowness of 5.1, you'd love 4.0. Moreover, if you're a PowerBook user, you should use 4.0 instead of 5.1 because 4.0 can be put in RAM fully, but when you use 5.1, it access the hard disk all the time (that's partly the reason why it's so slow).

As a result, I've ordered WordPerfect 3.0, which is much faster than Word 5.1a. I don't want to imagine what would happen to Word 6.0...
