Just got my own copy of WordPerfect 2.0 this weekend. And while at first
I was a little overwhelmed at the improvements/changes I now find I like
it so much that I would not go back to WP 1.05. It is an immense improvement
with all kinds of stuff. Overall it is much more intuitive and thus is as
many have said already and is definately now a Mac product.

I do have a few questions. First I have heard that already version 2.01 is
available with Word 4.0 import (no Word export yet). Are there also some
bug fixes with 2.01?  I read about this new version in the new issue of
MacWeek, but other than the Word importing additon don't know if it has
any other improvements. I have only mangaed to crash it once, and screw
up the keyboard input by messing with keybords in the Librarian before I
knew what I was doing. I have noticed some bugs in the display of graphics
when I leave the "drawing" program the screen of the document still has
some of the paint program screen showing until I move to a next page.
Also I use acess PC to read/write/format MS-DOS disks. When I tried to
directly save a 5.0/5.1 to this disk it actually screwed up the disk. I
had to save it to my Hard Drive and then use finder to drag the 5.0/5.1 file
to the MS-DOS disk icon. Has anyone noticed any other serious bugs I 
should be aware of?  (Besides the redraw/refresh flakyness of some graphics)
All in all however I am very impressed and am glad I got this upgrade!!!!!
