Yes, I'm not going to be all that good at figuring out the difference 
before hand myself. Sigh.

However, I did try AbiWord this afternoon and it is not exactly what 
the doctor ordered (no macros or templates) but it is opensource, 
free, and secure(;o))
It just works, right out the "box". I like that a lot. It is also 
fast, simple, clean, and easy to use.
I'm sure I can mangle something together having access to the source code!

thanks . . .
