Admittedly I'm having a bad day. Only slept for around 2 hours and got a mounting pile of work. Spilt a pot of coffee everywhere and kicked over my guitar. Not a good start to the day.
In my frustration I decided to try OpenOffice; I was getting increasingly irate with flaws in MS Office, particularly Word and it's inability to do the simplest of tasks. In the hour or so I've been tinkering, I'm now so angry that I didn't make the move sooner!
It just works... Highly recommended:
