Bah, Word! I hate software that thinks it is smarter than the user.
I often have the problem that Word thinks the hyphen in something like
"summer- and wintertime" should be a dash. (Actually, I don't know if you
use such constructs in English, but in German you do. And you use a HYPHEN!)

I try to avoid Word as much as I can, but unfortunateley there are lots of
people around who think that even the simplest text should be a word document
with as much evil formatting as possible.
