I've been perfectly happy with my ancient Office Pro '97 that I bought for a 
song on the 'Bay back then. but now I have 
incompatibility issues between Word '97 and the driver for our Wi-Fi printer.

I've been trying OpenOffice. It's pretty good, but there are troublesome font 
and formatting differences from Word. I 
have some templates, and standard things in Word that don't work the same in 
OO. when you are trying to print four small 
pages as a fold up of an 8.5x11 sheet, that gets troublesome.

I suspect it might be better to start from scratch than to try to patch up an 
import. For now, laziness says Word prints 
from the main computer, so why mess with it?
