I never received an upgrade form.  You can request an order form by calling
their Customer Service/upgrades office (I don't have the phone number with
me), and they will also accept charge cards over the phone.

I charged it over the phone. It took about a week and a half to
arrive. I haven't got a chance to play around with it, but it looks
impressive based upon the documentation.  It is also big -- it takes
up two 800K disks for the program, dictionary, thesaurus (I'm pretty
sure there is one included), hyphenation dictionary, and help files
(you can delete some of these if you lack space).  Biggest new
features seem to be multiple columns, footnotes, style sheets,
stationary, better graphics manipulation, multiple documents open
simultaneously, and a horizontal scroll bar.
