How is it with Word doc compatibility. I need to be able to open a doc
in either word processor and edit it without screwing it up for the
other. Being able to open and read a doc is not enough. That seemed
to be SO's strength.

Yes I am. (Ffter writing the above, I found your prior post discussing
it.) The web site seems to suggest that they only send evaluations to
large companies who are considering buying a stack of licenses. I
don't fit that category, but I'd sure like to see how well
(comprehensively) Word (I have no need for the rest of MS office) is
supported before I buy it.
Have you tried it? Your opinion?
