I did buy WP and am very disappointed with the product. Bugs and  
bugs, even after the new release this spring. Application kills  
itself if a dictionary is missing, etc... Macros are a pain in the  
///, and they are the main reason why I left WN. 

They also promised a french dictionary, but tell me that i have to  
purchase the whole package -- french version -- to get it...

To top it off, there is no 800 support number.

I will definitely look into FrameMaker... too bad, I loved 5.1.
