Sod OpenOffice, I need MS Word
Well, it's taken a month of cautiously using OpenOffice before I found something I really got used to being able to do in MS Word, that OpenOffice just doesn't let me do: search and replace on non-printing characters.

Which means I'm going back to MS Word. I figured I probably would eventually, but I was interested to find out how long I could use OpenOffice before I really needed a function that I didn't have in OpenOffice: and I really need this function to be able to post Part 1 of "End Game" (without going through a lot of tedious by-hand deletion/replacement, which I'm damned if I do when I know MS Word will let me do it a lot faster).

Last time I used OpenOffice regularly was back in 2001. Back then, that I remember, the main annoying thing about it was that I would reach for a function I knew was there... and discover it wasn't where I expected it to be because OO structured its shortcuts differently.

I have finished Part 5 of "End-Game". I think you'll find it... disturbing. *evil grin*
