Sorry, but have you ever tried to use MS-Works to really accomplish anything? My choice of words would have been "barely." It's all there is, though, and has been for so long that your statement about loyalties is true. Sure, you can call me biased (working for Claris), but I've deplored MS-Works since long before I joined Claris. Admittedly, it's improved vastly in later revisions, but not nearly at the same rate as the rest of software in general. Scott Lindsey |"Cold and misty morning.
