At least they're not moving to Publisher!

Now that really is a turkey. I tried to use it on behalf of a clients
whose attitude was "I've bought Office, it does everything, use only
Office applications."

I thought that I had bashed out a reasonable approximation of what was
wanted - then we got to trying to print it. It then took weaks of
frustrating twiddling with every possible colour output option to get
the final print anything like the on-screen representation.

Microsoft seem to have managed the impossible which is to get a Pantone
colour rendered inaccurately on screen then to have the output appear in
a completely different colour.

I haven't used it enough to find out anything like that, but it does
cause untold headache in trying to deal with its files.
