I do all my typing in a program not much more complex than notepad.

Then I format/spell check it.

I find this twice as productive, all the fancy buttons and the autoformating is a pain in the ass and if you do it afterwards you'll do it twice as fast because you don't waste as much time mucking around while you're typing it.

 Sounds reasonable. I really hate the autoformatting crap.

Vim 7 is going to include a spellings checker. If it's out, you're going to be thrilled, I'm sure of it :)

"What you share with the world is what it keeps of you."
 - Noah And The Whale: Give a little love



a poem by my computer, Macintosh Vigilante
Macintosh amends a damned around the requested typewriter. Macintosh urges a scarce design. Macintosh postulates an autobiography. Macintosh tolls the solo variant. Why does a winter audience delay macintosh? The maker tosses macintosh. Beneath female suffers a double scum. How will a rat cube the heavier cricket? Macintosh calls a method. Can macintosh nest opposite the headache? Macintosh ties the wrong fairy. When can macintosh stem the land gang? Female aborts underneath macintosh. Inside macintosh waffles female. Next to macintosh worries a well.

I agree the new beta office is terrible, the colour scheme for me is bad and the over done amount of buttons makes it look simply ugly.

Thats one ass ugly interface, and Im sure what ever comes out will be bloated and buggy as hell. It really bummed me out when WP and Lotus allowed themselves to become irrelevent. I think WP 6x and lotus are still better than anything M$ has put out.
Im sure this new version of office is going to take up even more HD space and be a bigger pain in the ass than Oriffice 2003. I prefer Open Office. Hopefully it will continue to improve.

Office 2000 is pretty good, I reckon that's the best Office version to date, just like Windows 2000 is the best Windows OS to date. ;)

I think WP and Lotus were the best products of their class.

Word Perfect did in fact rock.  And Quattro, Corel's spreadsheet, was light years ahead of Excel.  Ah, the good old days.
