There have been lots of complaints concerning Word 5.0 (for Macintosh)
features.
I think the real question is how Microsoft can manage to implement
features like cross-referencing/auto-table numbering/... in a Dos Version
(Word 5.0 for Dos, already some 2 years old has all these features) or
put them in Windows versions of this word-processing program (Winword 2.0
is almoust in any respect superior to what Word 5.0 for Macintosh offers
- apart from those things offered by the system) while neglecting the
Macintosh users.

I sometimes ask myself whether there is a common strategy behind all this.
