Come on Pierre... You seem to have a short memory on this one. Do you
think MVPs always support everything MS does ?? None of us ever
criticize bugs or lack of functions ??
I distinctively remember Paul posting in the groups about several other
serious issues or shortcomings. Give him some credit.

Well I'm not affected by these bugs. I could as well say these are
trivial to me and I'd rather see other issues taken care of before
these. The importance you give to these issues is biased by the fact
that they affect you, isn't it ??
I'd much rather see riht to left support and have an Office Update that
doesn't trash my installation of Office (that's what the French Office X
10.1.6 updater does).
Resources are not unlimited and bug fixes as well as implementation of
new features need to be prioritized...

:-> again I see things in a different angle... If I quite remember, the
US department of justice failed but the European court succeeded...

You are of course entitled to your own opinion Pierre, but please don't
expect everybody to see everything the same way you do. People have
different backgrounds and are differently affected by the various
problems not yet resolved in Office.
