Well, I find that ability to jump between tasks (mainly communication
and word processing for me) the main reason I went for WinWord. I also
think that WinWord is a really inutuitive program (I am gung ho for
icons/graphics objects, mice etc). I've been working on a complicated
manual with graphics, and other such things, and I can work on it and
then log into my Univ's machines to get stuff (because of Windows, and
WinQVT or Telix running in a Window.

Try it. I think you'll like it.
