There's no reason why it shouldn't work in Word 3. Most of what I do now I
did in Word 3 before the upgrade.

True. Better wildcards would help. If I'm doing something fairly complex, I
sometimes pop the text into Lightspeed C so I can use grep mode.

An argument requires two voices. Without the opposition, it's just a
whine.  To argue, you have to listen to and rebut the opposition. Most
USENET arguments aren't. They're simply two monologues happening at once.
