Does anyone know when Microsoft plans on releasing Word 4.0 for the Mac? I have been researchers Mac word processing and I really think all the feature I have seen about 4.0 fit our needs. From what I understand, it was supposed to be out in Dec.

It'll come out as soon as Microsoft decides it is really stable (as opposed to Word 3.0, which shipped when they decided it should be stable). I think it's safe to say Beta is coming close to wrapping up, though, so it's getting closer.

It was Dec.but I just went to our computer store, and they said *March* is the new release date. I purchased 3.02 back in August for the upgrade in Nov., what happened Microsoft?

I'm sure it will see the light of day soon, as it's looking really solid now (I have absolutely no idea of a specific date). When I have a copy in my hand and a manual on my shelf, then it's shipped.
