So you already have a line below it and it can't put another number in front. Or try putting a space in front of the number. That sucks so bad though, I get pretty frustrated with crap like that.

I wasn't willing to pour out money for it when I could just get a word processor for free. ^_^; At the moment, I use OO.o for Mac. I've haven't really experienced any of the slowness yet. (I'm waiting for them to come out with the Aqua port. I'm curious to see how that will be.) I heard AbiWord is a lighter, simpler version of OO.o, but haven't really tried it out...

I haven't tried it yet myself but I probably will. :D Good luck! Never heard of Pages but I did hear that OpenOffice is pretty slow. I haven’t tried it yet myself but I probably will. :D Good luck!

I tried Openoffice when I lost my Ms Word instalation DVD, and I can't stand it. It's not even a matter of getting used to it, like I first thought. I was specially annoyed at how slow it was, then at how it set the default margin to be .76 (that means having to write more to meet certain page requirements for a university assignment) but what truly and ultimately annoyed me was the lack of Spanish dictionary, therefore the lack of spellcheck in Spanish. And how hard is it to install a dictionay? Practically impossible. Word gets 10 chocolates in the dictionary / spellcheck / thesaurus department. There ends my rant on openoffice :D I hope you find the software that works best for you! wow, that truly sucks :/
