I should point out to those of you with the beta/pre-release/demo versions
of FullWrite, the released version IS faster; it's not as fast as Word 3.01
though, probably due to the fact that a) Word doesn't auto-repaginate and b)
even if it did, it wouldn't have to deal with the kind of WSYWIG layout
FullWrite does. But Word is faster -- I find the released FW about halfway
between MS Word 1.05 and MS Word 3.01, depending on the circumstances (i.e.
graphics on the screen).
BTW, anyone see the note in MacWorld that Word 4.0 will be WYSIWYG? No more
REPAGINATION commands. Also table generation, macros and color text (the
former interests me, the latter doesn't, since I have a QuicKeys and a Mac
Plus). SuperPaint 1.1 will be bundled with it (and almost certainly
Microlytics Word Finder, which is pretty much what FullWrite's Thesaurus
is). Intriguing -- two good high-end word processors will certainly keep
one another on their toes. Good news for us, I guess. But, to quote the
old comments on FullWrite... I'll believe it when I see it!
