*smiles* Agreed. i think 'Ooohs and aaaahs' have their place, despite not being accepted by word (although i think they have to be handled with care). Having said that, Word isn't LD's only editing tool, myself and redEva are.

Oh...and if i ever saw 'LOL' used in a story, in any context other than the description of an email (or similar) received or sent by a charcter, i'd stop reading it.
