Edit a Word document with Eclipse

For almost a year now, I have had a love/hate relationship with CFEclipse.  I have made attempts to use it several times.  Each trial ended in utter frustration as I had to un-learn how I code in Dreamweaver.  Recently, Jared schooled me on the fine art of snippets, and I decided to give CFE another shot. 

This trial seems to be going better (probably becasue I have been using Flex Builder 2 recently and have gotten more used to the UI in Eclispe) . Today I discovered something interesting, you can read and edit Word documents inside Eclipse!  Very cool!

I use eclipse quite a bit now too. i only have two frustrations...
1) lately the ftp connection has been breaking for me or something...keeps throwing some pointer exception when i try to save if i haven't used the ftp connection in 5 or 10 minutes
2) there's no right click in the explorer view to do new file. d'oh!
