I doesn't pop up instantly, as some reviews have said, but its certainly is speedy. Much more so than OpenOffice. It handles the Word documents floating around work just fine. It handles Word docs with tables better than OO does. I still need to sit down with it and do some real-world document creation with it, but from what I can see so far, it's a bargain for $50. I would use it instead of AbiWord, and if it does everything I use OpenOffice for, I will probably buy it. One wishlist: left/right pages (or page styles) would be extremely useful for double sided printouts that need to be bound. David p.s. I'll still keep OpenOffice though, because I need the spreadsheet and presentation software at work. p.p.s. Does purchase of the software allow installation and usage at both home and work by the same individual?
