I have read recently in the postings that there is an offer available to
get Nisus at the educational discount of $99.00.  I am considering this,
but as a Word 4.0 user, I would like to know how Nisus compares to Word 4.0.
In particular, I am looking at Nisus for articles/dissertation(s) in 
tecnical fields (my field is comp. sci., my wife's is operations research).
Thus, I have the need for inline graphics (which Word has), outlining
(I have used Word 4.0's outliner without too much trouble),
auto-numbering of figures/tables/equations, and crossreferences.
Which of these features does Nisus have?

I know of the Wordref program available at sumex for xrefs in Word 4.0.  Is  
there an equivalent feature in Nisus which can be used to create a 
bibliography? Also, does the commercial product Endnote work with Nisus?

If there is interest, I will post a summary.
