Word 4 has been out for over 2 years... when will MS be giving it a real upgrade? They don't have the macros they have in Word 5 for PC, possibly many other features. There are certainly improvements to be made. Does anyone know if they're working on it, or is Windows taking up all their new efforts now? jas -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeffrey A.

I too am waiting for Word 5, and if it does not come very soon after May 13 and before I start the serious part of my Dissertation write up WordPerfect is going to get the prize. I need/want dynamic references. (No I don't want to hear about all the other WPs that do dynamic referencing: I've used WordPerfect before and know how it works and I currently use Word) -- David E.
