Actually, in certain ways Word Pro was very good. For example, it had what
Word 2007 calls "alignment tabs" already in the 90's. The problem with Word Pro was the poor compatibility with Word, and a few bugs that were never sorted out. You can still use the application, though, at least on Windows XP, and I keep an installation of Word Pro on my home computer, primarily so that I can read old *.lwp files. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S.

Many years ago, James Fallows (who was The Atlantic's correspondent in China for the longest time) gave a brillkant write-up to Lotus Agenda in that magazine -- it was a sort of primitive relational database that combined what seem to be the functions of Access and Outlook. I got the last copy at one of the earliest computer stores in Chicagoland -- it might have been a BestBuy -- and not long after, lucked into aftermarket books on both v.1 and the one I have, v.2. It was for DOS. I wonder whether it would work on Vista, or Windows 7 -- and whether the installation diskettes are still readable. BTW, speaking of which, the Wall Street Borders already has five full shelves of Windows 7 books, and it's not available for a week and a half yet.

What AmiPro did well was offer itself as a simple Word Processor that worked
to provide all the functions that most users required, without trying unsuccessfuly to be all things to all men - like Word. It was easy to use, easy to learn, fast and uncluttered. Reading the comments from Word 2007 users and having struggled for a long time to gain competence with that version, it is clear that there is a demand for something that is easy to use and does the jobs that most people require. Any software that is unintuitive and stands between the user and his work only survives because of the marketing power of its manufacturer. Lotus had that marketing power and chose to throw it away.

Does Works fill that need? I've never seen it, but it seems from the
occasional mentions here that it may well do so. Have they stopped bundling it with new purchases?

Unfortunately, what's now "bundled" (if it even deserves that term) is a
trial version of Office 2007 (and extremely little effort is made to make the purchaser aware that it is *only* a trial version). The downside of Works, as can be seen from a nearby thread about converting .wps files, it that it does not, by default, create files that are as universally usable as ..doc or .docx. There was a time when the "word processor" was so limited that the only way to create a table was in the spreadsheet; I think that is no longer true. -- Suzanne S.

But is there a real competitor today? One might argue that the open source
word processors are a threat to Word, but they seem to imitate Word so closely that I doubt it. Specifically, I heard that OpenOffice is planning to introduce ribbons in a future release (I don't know for sure if this is accurate). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ...
