Ever watched John Carpenter's "They Live"?  :)

In any event, Word as the editor for email is like using a 38 tonne crane
to pick up the pencil you just dropped--it's massive overkill, and its
accuracy obviously leaves a bit to be desired.

And we used to joke about using EMACS as a general editor.  Eight Megs And
Constantly Swapping, we said.  Word is far more bloated--and far, far less
useful apparently.  

Dump Word in that context and all should be well.
