Given all the complaints about Word 5 on the net, for now I'm keeping
my $100+ in the bank. We'll see if Word 6.0 offers what I now need
most:
1. Reliability!
2. Speed!
3. Full cross referencing of text, footnotes, figures and charts, with
   auto- updating of the cross-references.
4. Auto-numbering figures and charts.
If Word 6 does not satisfy all of these needs, then the big issue for
me will be which other word processor will import my hundreds of Word 4
docs the best.
