Will you give it up? sure it's an icky, closed format, but if that's
what people demand, they can get it. Once a month or two I am also
forced to use Kword and AbiWord or OpenOffice. I know, I know,
they're wysiwyg and that's uncool¸ and I do miss the vi's power, but
some Office drones want a stylish document and not a text file or a
pretty but uneditable doc. how boring, but still, typing it in 10 minutes
in Kword is easier for me than going out to learn LaTeX (or even SGML)
for the rare occasion.
