I back up onto CDs so not too worried about losing stuff. Another way to make sure you don't lose stuff is to email it to yourself (better if you have a second email address) or someone else. <br /><br />But if that had happened to me I might have kicked word out of my life too. mshatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06308916014310536449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4393512822627120580.post-64294230113559252372013-07-10T14:50:33.507-05:002013-07-10T14:50:33.507-05:00I've heard good things about Scrivener.

Yeah I...I don't want to be contrary...oh, wait. Yeah I do. I *love* contrary don't I?<br /><br />Anyway, love Word and all its derivatives. I've heard that Scrivener is superb but why switch canoes in midstream. Still I might give it a try just to discover why it is held in such high regard.<br /><br />Since agents/publishers seem to want doc or rtf fairly exclusively, I assume there is a way to format it to Word's specifications.<br /><br />Lastly, I wish to comment on WordPerfect: *spit* Okay. that's it.

For some reason I end up going back to word for revising. It doesn't make sense really, but that's how my brain works I guess.
