All the girls here at the office also use Write for their (and their boss'es) needs. It has a certain `feel' that no other wordprocessor has that I just can't get along without. Moving text around, font support, the user interface, tabs, glossary, and other features do truly make it an excellent mid- to high-end product on the ST. Most of the problems that people run into is due to the way Write was originally implemented as Word 1.05 on the Mac. If you run it off of floppies, keep the program *and* document files on one disk..and don't take the program disk out! Flame MS on their design...after all, MessyDOS and half an OS are also their's. :-) [BTW, I know a CompSci student who is quite anxious to work on fixing MS Write bugs. He has had work terms at Microsoft and would like to work on ST's during his next work term there...] -- Julius Oklamcak All views are my own. Atari (Canada) Corp.
