reasonable amount of love for Excel. I, like you, dislike Word,
but it seems better than (ugh) WordPerfect (but I haven't tried
WP since v. 4.2).

I agree, and there is great value in standardization on any
(reasonable) operating system. I remember the chaos of the early
days when even floppy disk formats were totally incompatible from
computer to computer.
