Since I never use equations, and you can insert graphics (try loading a jpeg
or a GIF), I find it very good. It processes words very well, has a good
spellchecker, allows full layout control (though I haven't figured out how to
do margin notes - I like those in my CV) and has more functions than you can
shake a stick at. As somebody pointed out, Corel were strictly speaking
correct, as the equation editor and graphics editor are separate apps (but I
think it was wrong of them to not mention this). So yes, I think it is a very
useful wordprocessor - I understand your complaint, but I don't agree with it.
All I know is that this version of WP would have done an excellent job of my
3rd year dissertation. So let's leave it at that - I'm happy, you're not.

That WP is perfect for my needs, and isn't slow and bloaty like SO? ;) A turd
is a turd even if it is big, steaming and delivered in wrapping paper. I still
have to meet anyone who used all the functions of word 2.0, let alone
word97...
