Indeed. When I want professional output typesetting I pass it to my 
wife, who lays it out in Quark.

This is good, because professional written material is mostly prepared 
on quark or adobe  programs, mostly running on Macintoshes.

MS words is complete rubbish really. It's just a de facto standard.

But Ray is a Bandar log man. Popularity = quality, de facto = best 
choice etc.

Which is why Ray can confidently predict that the car that will win the 
Canadian Grand Prix tomorrow will be a VW Beetle. Since by popularity
it's obviously the best car in the world.
