If you have it and can save down to it and you know it, return to WFW 2.0,
it might not have all the features of word 6 like automated spelling correction
however it has most of the features necessary for writing a thesis, equation
editor, outlining, thesauras etc. I feel that I don't need a word processor
that does much more than Word for Windows 2.0 does.
