Another thing that _really_ naffs me off about Word (this may be inherited from earlier versions, I don't know) is how often it repaints the screen. I work with alot of tables -- pages of them. They take longer than I like to paint as it is when I page up or down, but it seems that just about anything you do to a cell, even if the cell size remains constants, forces a repaint of the entire page. This is a pain even on my IIcx which is reasonably fast. The other thing that gets me is when I'm working in Page Layout view, on oaccasions, I'll be working on a page and suddenly my screen will jump to different page. I remember this from Word 4 too. I like using Word, but it's getting too greedy and slow for me. TOny. -- ================================================================== Q: What is the difference between LA and yoghurt?
