"What's your favourite word processor?" really should have been "What word processor do you use?" Most of us don't have a choice. We use the word processor and page format our publisher wants. If they use MS Word you have to too. Over the years I've used several versions of MS Word, Wordperfect and one or two others, but the best of all was a cheap programme I started using after transition from typewriter to my first computer back in '85 called Tasword. It was solid as a rock, didn't bounce about and reformat on a whim, didn't need an army of defaults changing to look acceptable, and generally did what it was told, but then it was DOS based, and like everything else, simpler usually means better. The peculiar thing is today publishers complain about MS Word too, mine referring to it as "ornery", but we're still using it, and that I don't understand. Same with keyboards. Who didn't realise it was stupid to leave the Caps Lock button next to the Shift Key, when there is no "feel" to let you you you've knocked it on accidentally? Most of us four finger typists don't look at the screen when we work, and then it's too late. C'est la vie.
