That is what I am using I miss spoke saying I was using Live Office. I just want simple word processing. The fanciest I go is tables and inserted objects.
If I want to edit HTML I use a HTML editor not a word processor. I am stuck with the latest Office at work I really do not like to go through menus to do what I used to do without any menus. The older layout was great.

Thanks DXR88.
I feel the need to explain my terrible aditude. In the good old days software managers were ex-programmers who had gotten too old to program. Now they are mostly used car salesmen. They tell you do do stupid things then try to get the programmers in trouble when it fails. This is a universal complaint in the programming community.
I can see the results in all the products. I can use software and can 'feel' if it is technicalloy sound or not. If it does not 'feel' right it is a good bet a slippery unethical moron was in charge. What you can see and feel is not the the real problem. There will be got-yous where you can't see.

revengine, that is the point! Quality of the product doesn't matter to most software companies any more; they figure that will just sell harder. Most of the excellent softare that had not gone down hill are created by one man shows where the developer runs the show. This is a generality and is not always the case. There are some large companies that actually put something of value in their upgrades but they are the minority.
