Hi, Chris... Sorry that you seem to have felt I was trying to twist your arm or something. If you can get done what you need to, effectively and efficiently in Word, great. I certainly understand budget limitations. In part my previous posts, I was simply pointing out the benefits of the software, and that there are FREE demos you might want to download to check out. If you do check them out, I think you'll have found some tools you'll want to put on your acquisition list for whenever you can afford them. Much of the rest of the posts were responses to other people's posts.
