Spot on Mr Reyonlds
His works tend to be rather lengthy. As a fellow author I have to totally agree with him about word and how crap it is in handling long documents.
I've just finished a Technical Manual for work that is some 300+ pages in length. It is also 22.5Mb in size because of the numerous pictures and illustrations.
Office 2010 freezes when navigating ove a TOC that spans several pages. This is on PC with a Quad i7 CPU, 32Gb or Ram ans SSD's for HDD.
I only suffer this when putting the final document together. It is all in short sections and only comes together to create the TOC and resolve references.
This freezing does not seem to happen with Office 2011 for Mac on my IMac.
For my own Novels, I use Scribus on the iMac. Works like a charm especially for eBooks.
