I can think of a long list, but my favorites are: - equation formatting - graphics output of the 1500 characters added in 5.0 (but which wouldn't print out if your printer didn't have them in its own fonts; now WP says "hell, I'll just do a graphic that LOOKS like the character) - tables: you can actually import portions of Lotus 123 or Quattro Pro directly into tables in WP. No need to go through an intermediate PRN file. I bought WP 5.1 for the first two! Dave Halliwell P.S. The raster output also seems to scale well when you resize the graphs: if you import a scanned image at, say, 300dpi, you can rescale it and still get good output. No need to match scan size with output size (at least in my limited experience).
