Also you may like to try Preferences and go to the custom keyboard. What do you think of the product? I just saw it yesterday and was generally happy about it. It looks like a cousin to Nisus IMHO, but lacks some features that Word, it's main rival, still does "easily". As it stands, 2.1 is going to address these problems. I was impressed with WordPerfect however, and I think they'll do a good job. According to them, whenever they start a new platform, they make the product compatible with v4.2 and work from there. I still think they deserved the bashing for 1.0 no matter how justified they seem. At least they're upgrading all 1.0-1.03 users to 2.0 for free... Incidentally, about that v4.2 compatible stuff, it's true on all platforms except Windows 3.0, that is :) -- **** My employers ignore me, I'm on my own when I speak out in public :^( **** Norton Chia || My address is norton@extro.ucc.su.oz.au Micro Support || "When are they going to put in built-in spell-chequers" *******************************************************************************
