I upgraded and love the new Word. It's much more powerful
with great features in tables, mail merge, and
indexing/cross referencing. I've not had any major
problems except with import graphics, but for a graphics
heavy doc, I go to Frame or PageMaker (depending on my
whim).

I do have one "caveat." A colleague told me to get Word 97
Annoyances (Woody Leonhard, Lee Hudspeth & T. J. Lee,
O'Reilly Press). I didn't believe her at first, but
figuring out how to get around some design changes was
driving me crazy. The folks in Redmond dumped some nice
features and added a couple of really dumb ones that kept
getting in my way. Finally, I purchased and applied a lot
of what the authors say to modify Word into a production
package. It has been worth taking a couple of hours to set
up menus, tool bars, and even some items of Windows 95 to
fit the way I work rather than the way Microsoft thinks I
work. The changes were simple and make using Word 97 much
more useful.
