StarOffice gets quite good marks, not as good as Frame (the winner). Word is disqualified for bugs, but even without them, doesn't get as good marks as StarOffice. IMO, c't is one of the best computer magazines in the world. Their criticism is always well founded. In this case, they showed Word underlining at an angle, and entering page number 9 for all index entries. They also showed cases where a saved document looked different after re-opeining, and reliable ways to crash Word while trying to do something valid. Greg
