And another thing (I'm on a roll) we have just renewed our license with
the AIA and received the new program for their construction documents and
contracts program and they require MS Word. We did not require word
before, so now, to use the new program we have to buy MS Word (and a MS
machine) and we can't use our old contracts and documents anymore. Is
there a restraint in trade lawsuit here?

Won't OpenOffice.org do? Do they know what you're using, or do you just need to send stuff as .doc's?

Cheers,
