problem with formatting in word (i hate my computer!)

People who think word is crap do not know how to use it. It has some excellent functions which most dont know about. I use it very often with my students when teaching various areas mathematics. Excel is also another excellent product - really good for teaching physics believe it or not.

i agree about excel, never had a problem with it and i have been using it a lot in the last few years, especially for statistics etc. i like it

are you still in japan, krb? how do you like it?

Yes, working at an international school.
