One program does the job. Who wants to learn new tricks anyway?<br /><br />Donna-- I have a sneaking suspicion that we don't live too far away from each other. And those WP die hards? Those are my kind of people! I'm guessing your vote is for Word?<br /><br />Edwin-- Sometimes the simplest thing is the best thing! You're the second who has mentioned using a text editor. I added it to the list, and counted your vote.<br /><br />Jennifer-- I love you. Vote counted.

Votes counted for both.<br /><br />Talei-- I had no idea either! Vote counted.<br /><br />Leah-- Word processors cost A TON! Free is a really good reason for choosing something. But seriously? Question marks for the entire file? Did you have to start completely over? I think I'd cry. Actually, I probably would've cried writing a five page essay in Japanese to start with. :) Vote counted.<br /><br />Leigh Ann-- Another Scrivener die hard!! Yay! <b>HEY EVERYONE!

When the city code was shifted from WordPerfect (which was created in my city's office space years ago) to Word, it was determined that the rest of the city would have to make the shift. Um. Ten years later and we still have some WordPerfect diehards. =DDonna K.
