[Word 4.0 vs. MWII]

I don't know about the more obscure bugs in these programs, but one BIG
advantage of Word 4.0 over WriteII is the ability to convert parts of a page
into columnar format. If you want a regular block of text on the top half
of a page, and 3 columns on the bottom half, it's a snap with Word4, but as
far as I can tell, it's impossible (or at least not conveniently implemented)
in Write II.
