I'd like to have seen it.  Microsoft had a counter at a computer fair held on
campus recently, and I asked the representative about Word for PM.  He
wouldn't comment about an unannounced product.

Microsoft also had a booth at a local computer show about a week later.  Once
again I asked about Word for PM, but the representative claimed ignorance
and referred me to their 800 number.  I haven't tried the 800 number yet, but
I fully expect to be told that they won't comment about an unannounced
product.

In contrast to Microsoft's zippered lips, the representative from WordPerfect
said, without hesitation, that their PM version should be out by next summer.
