However: I've noticed that the "fast save" format is invoked in the file-type
when your document has tables embedded in it--or at least when you try to
open a document with tables with Nisus 3.04. I use Nisus a lot and discovered
this to my dismay when I tried to open a client's document that contained
budget tables and was totally unable to do so until I opened it with Word 4.0,
changed the table back to tabs, and then saved it again. The error dialogue
I got from Nisus told me something to the effect that Nisus was unable to open
Word documents in fast-save format.
