Agreed, style sheets are heavenly.

Who needs an Amiga version of Word when Mac emulation is so cheap and easy?
Go ahead, buy AMaxII (around $150), pirate the ROM file and pirate MS
Word for the mac.  Don't whine about the legality of taking profits away
from corporations whose CEOs make >$10 million a year.  It's morally
correct to pirate Mac ROMs!  Yes it is!  In fact, you should help
make macintoshing free even if you have no need yourself - it's not just
correct, it's a MORAL IMPERATIVE.  I suggest buying AMaxII ONLY
because ReadySoft is a small, Amiga-oriented company (not because it's
necessary - it isn't).

It works for me, and it works very well.  MS Word *screams* on a 3000.

If you disagree on morality, spare the net your flames.  Email.
If you agree on morality, email also.
