As of now one of the hottest issues on the net is Microsoft Word 4.0, and
its disputed stage of general release.  I would like to ask a question
to all of you who are in luck to fiddle with the "released" version of
Word 4.0.:
            How is word 4.0's SPEED compared to 3.0.x ?

Weeks back, I had to chance to fiddle around with a beta version of
WORD.  I found its speed was slow that it could not KEEP up with my
typing ( no, I am not a fast typist, at around 60 words per minute max).
And don't even mention its WYSIWYG preview mode that is comparable to
FullWrite's "notorious" irresponsiveness as we all have bashed it on
the net.

There have been several articles posted to the net already of people's
first impressions about 4.0.  Speed issue was never addressed in those
articles (not that I have seen and I read almost every article relevant
to Word 4 these days).  Would some kind soul please tell us something
about Word 4.0's speed, speed and speed ???

Thanks in advance.
