I thought the whole idea about customization was to put in or take out
the features that you needed. If you took out a lot of unused features
the program should load faster and run faster. Not Word 4.0. I never thought
that an application would get slower as the version numbers increased.

I tried word 4.0 on a mac II and it seems pretty slow. I think they've 
gone too far with there customizing.
