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.
