A tip of advice, if you are dead sat at being better than ms office, you =
must know what qualites make ms office good BESIDES compatibility.  If =
you actually develop a better product, you get more users using the =
native format, thus making ms format irrelvant.  Mainly, you must make =
EXTENSIVE help, make the toolbars standard (you must not have =
new/different icons in every release)  The more features that you build =
that are consistent, the better this suite will be.
