All of the problems I have had with MSW have been from orphan prompts hidden in the documents. One of the worst is "widow orphan" code because for legal documents there are 28 lines on the legal pleading paper in Calif and this code can move your typing down to the next page and not allow you to use the slashes // for the 28th line as required in legal documents when that line needs to be blank because the paragraph ended on line 27. Drives me nuts in documents others using MSW send me to use.

Good luck.
