I write pretty heavy medical stuff, and this program that was rammed down my throat continually changes what I write to what it THINKS it should be... While proofing a paper from one of the world's top cardiologists, it randomly changed a mu (MICROgram) into an m (MILLIgram; 1000x the dose). Anyone given that dose would have been swimming in his/her own blood on the table. Luckily, I remembered his speeches.

Is there any way I can turn it into my old trusty Royal typewriter??? I hit a key and that's what I get? The right font, the right color, the right place on the page, the right indentation, the right spacing...etc, etc etc. Then I can format the way it needs to be formatted?

I'm not a novice. I'm a former LAN administrator and have been using word since it refused to recognize WP51 any more. I've gone all over the options. I stipped all formatting, I've changed defaults. I took off all auto-whatevers...BUT The next time I boot up... they're all changed back.

I'm serious. I can't afford to spend 20% of my time fighting this program any longer.

Can anyone help?

I'd appreciate it. Thanx.
