Hi Peter & All,
If you enjoyed that tale of frustration, you will also very much enjoy this one by one of my favourite writers Douglas Adams.
M.S word is nowadays soooo much better, less convoluted and user friendly than some (most) of the early versions. As I've done a bit of writing in various capacities over the last 20-odd years, I have enjoyed my share of Douglas' miseries ...
