I worked in Tech Pubs for some years, and Word is a heap of cack for

I am somewhat relieved to read these comments. I thought that using one
of our software manuals as a learning tool would be a good idea: we
have styles, page numbering (starting again after prelims, what pain!),
contents, indexing, cross referencing, pictures etc.

When I took the decision to switch this to Word I expected to be hugely
impressed, given that WordPro effectively stopped being developed
c.1998. Then I put my frustration down to being a novice. Now I find
out the truth!
