MacWrite II 1.1 can import/export Word 4.0, while importing a fast-saved 4.0 files have given me some troubles. I believe the upgrade to version 1.1 is free. (correct me on this.) I love that word processor. After having had problems with Word 4.0 with importing graphics from Formulator and SuperPaint, MacWrite II is a pure joy to use. (also, it was only $60 from the college store :-) ) By the way, on the related subject, the update info for ver 1.1 states that a copy of MacLinkPlus (or something like that) is included with the disk, but my set did not contain it. Am I missing it because I have the educational discount? Chang -- ---- Chang P. Woo Chang.P.Woo@dartmouth.EDU (preferred) changwoo@eleazar.dartmouth.EDU HB 2932, Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH 03755
