I've heard a lot about the new release of WriteNow - apparently, they've
added several things and made most a bit 'cleaner'. One thing I have not
heard mention of, however, is if they've added a Page Preview function. This
is one feature I've been looking for since the first release and have been
getting fairly disappointed with each 'upgrade' since they not only didn't
have a preview mode, but also 'broke' Previewer (the RDEV).
If it is not part of 2.2, my only question is WHY NOT??? Most professional
programs have this - it's almost a standard. WriteNow seems to deal well
with WYSIWYG, but for those of us with the old 9" monitors, seeing half a
page in WYSIWYG is still fairly useless - it's fairly hard to position a title
in the center of a title page by just guessing at the number of lines one has
to add above the title.
(Maybe they're saving it for the rumored 3.0. It'd better be there if they
plan that version to be serious competition for Word and FullWrite. Which
reminds me - if their aiming at the high-end now, I hope they don't forget
the low-end market. WriteNow 2.0 is still the best package for beginners
and non-power users (IMHO) and is certainly one of the fastest!)
