I just received WORD4.0 this Saturday (MS says that they don't deliver to
PO Boxes, but it was there!).  I played Saturday and Sunday with it and have
a few comments.

1- It is nice.  But then, I never felt that previous versions were too hard
	to learn or use. They really suited my needs and even did more! 
	They could handle formulas and PostScript commands. They had dictionary.
	They could make a table of contents and an index.  All this before other
	other programs could.
2- In some situations (I haven't wrote all of them down) the menubar takes a 
	long time to be activated (not always).
3- Tables are nice (and you can even get the tables in your old documents that
	were made using tabs or spaces and "automatically" transform them into 
	new tables).
4- Linking the figures/tables that you paste in your Word document to take care
	of updates is VERY nice (but you better get your memory upgrades ready.
	In a 1 Meg machine, Word is the only thing that will run under MF, and
	you NEED MF to be able to update your figures.  Memory upgrade here I
	go :-) ).
5- The manuals are better than before, the Thesaurus is larger, the dictionary
	seems work faster.
6- For those that like it, you can redefine the menus so they resemble your
	previous word processor, or suit your own taste.
7- The dialog boxes have been changed.  There are pop up menus inside some of
	them.  It something new to get used to.

I will play with it some more, read the big manual and then post any new 
findings.  Word is one of those programs for which it pays to read the manual in
detail after you are used to the program, for you always find a new thing.
