I don't doubt it :^)  But remember, this was all within a short 
period of time when I switched to the Mac.  I remember how hated MS 
Word 6 was, thankfully I started with the updated version.

I will say this, on my PowerBook 520c I didn't use any part of MS 
Office except Word, instead of Excel I used ClarisWorks as Excel was 
just to dog slow.  A year and a half later when I got my PowerMac 
8500/180 I started using Excel as well.
