Post #219,687 by imqwerky 8/17/05 8:19:09 AM Reply	Not too shabby. I have written two docs with it and imported two docs for proofing. Ran smooth as glass. Haven't used the utils that I was impressed with yet b/c of time constraints. Things are busy 'round here with the youngun's back in school. But for the small amt. of usage, I like it. BTW, I am running Windows XP Pro on the desktop and XP Home on the laptop.
