This will be version 2, (which, BTW, will be the NeXT version). As yet the product should be considered quite vaporous, though it could see the light of day in the second quarter of 1989. If they're at MacWorld Expo, ask them (if you can't make it, I'll ask them for you). If you must purchase something *now*, the Word/PageMaker combo is quite useful, as is Quark XPress, but they embody two quite different working styles. If you have a local dealer who will let you work with the possible combinations for a few hours before plunking down megabucks, take advantage of the opportunity before deciding, and take all advice with a grain of salt before you experience the software yourself.
