Well, I didn't see your posting, but I got this when it first came out.
They were real chatty and talked me through a patch over the phone. If
I can remember...

It worked before Word 4.0, but not very well. The worst thing was that
the font menu wouldn't stay open. They knew it didn't work well with
Word, but when 4.0 came out I had already given up on 3rd-party tear-off
menus. Isn't this supposed to be part of System 7.0?  If so, I hope it
works with Word.

Some drawing programs already have them, so I only wanted them with 
Word. It's real convenient to instantly see the formatting without
having to pull down a menu.

I suspect they bit off more than they were prepared for. It was obvious
that they had no idea how much the phone bill was going to be.
