The amount of crashes word 2000 has is laughable/"cryable". Hopefully newer versions are more stable.

Why are you forced to use it? No-one's forced to use it,

To be fair, anything after 2k is stable and usable as a text editor. I cant really see what the problem is (if you start a doc from scratch).

A gazillion features that you never use and which get in your way. Nightmare. It takes an hour to configure it every time you get a fresh install.This is, in fact, my main complaint. In the quest to get Word to do things that Word has no business doing, it has become a steaming crock of shit. I used to love Word a decade and more ago. Mind you, I loved Windows '98 too, and hated every successive iteration of that, even though I'm sure it crashes less statistically... >:/
