Hehe .. don’t worry Nigel. To answer your question, I haven’t.

My major niggle with Lotus WordPro is the way that XP’s privileges confuses it. By which I mean, I can’t save any WordPro files in … My Documents. In fact, I can only save WordPro documents in sub-folders within My Documents, but only if I’ve not customized them (meaning they have to have the default yellow folder icon). I can save Lotus 123 files in My Documents, I can save all other Lotus SmartSuite files in My Documents just not WordPro.

I keep upgrading every now and then to a newer version (from 9.0 up to 9.7) and this is a common “feature” of WordPro that Lotus STILL haven’t fixed. I’ve now moved alot of my word processing to Microsoft Word 2003, which in my opinion is (sadly) far better than WordPro and is the first version of Word that I think matches and betters WordPro in terms of ease of use and features. And Word 2007, which I’ve previewed, is even better.

Sorry Gareth, posted this one in the wrong entry. Should be the one above. Apologies.

Notice you use Lotus WordPro Gareth. Have you found a way to remove that fixed Lotus graphic on the title bar so it then matches the rest of the XP theme? Don’t know why but it’s one of those “niggles” that has really bugged me. Otherwise the wordpro is excellent!

Correction… *weak
Taking the piss never works when spelling is poor; I have been humbled by my own weekness (that was intentional)

Gosh the Euro really must be very week to the pound at the moment if tuppence (i.e. two pence) currently equates to 2 Euros… I must travel to Irleand again soon and buy lots of things
