Actually Kirk, I live and function quite nicely in"the sighted World" I use these lousy tools but Word is not a very well-designed wordprocessor. WordPerfect, although it doesn't do html and some of the other features of Word and other more presentation-oriented wordprocessing applications, Word is a very poor product and it is because of MacroSlop's ongoing lack of care about the quality of their products. Throw it out to the Idiots and they will suck it up! The power users I know of and yes there are many who are sighted power users actually use and prefer the keyboard and actually prefer and use something other than Word when given the opportunity. I suppose I could ahve been politically correct and stated: Word is for the masses. But it bothers me a great deal that MacroSlop is so wrought with arrogance and is more interested in being in one's face with a bunch of flashy krap than to present, even to the masses, a quality product as have other vendors of software applications.
