VERY COOL!!
So the downside? Real buggy so far. I haven't created any new documents yet, but I have tried to edit and convert old documents only to be bombarded with fatal exceptions and restarts galore. It could be due to the excessive amount of hacks on my system or just me being stupid - I haven't played with it enough to know which yet. But the concept and the application are there and that is the coolest part. Finally I can do italics, underlining, font size by *pixel*, and TONS more!! Finally a word processor worth using!
