> I love for a competitor to do Word properly, but it won't > happen. Dunno. Last time I was forced to use Word we had to create big documents (500..2000 pages) with multiple authors. Above e ceratin limit things simply stopped working. Word crashed or did even less funny things (affecting the different files that made up the document, so we lost a lot of it). If I ever had to do something like that again I would go for a plain text input => formatted output approach.
