We just recently went from Word 2000 to 2003. Once I went in and
turned off all the new "features," I haven't experienced any significant
problems with 2003. OTOH, I haven't experienced any significant
advantages, either. But I'm still grumbling about the fact that they
removed WfW2.0's ability to edit pages and headers at the same time,
so take my opinion with a grain of salt. :)
