Am I alone in disliking the EN+ plug-in-module? It slows Word 5.1 to a
relative crawl (on a Mac IIfx, display set to b/w), and doubles the sizes
of unformated w/p file. The current reviews indicate that Word 6 runs like
treacle anyway, so a PIM would bring it to a halt.

Also, embedded citations are easily damaged during editing in ways that
are not trivial to solve. For my last paper, I wasted hours of time trying
to deal with multiple damaged citations before reverting to the
stand-alone program and DA. Thereafter, no problems. I prefer having two
separate versions of the text - before and after referencing - because it
is safer.

Of course, I may not get Word 6, if it as bad as the reviews suggest, and
look forward to EN+ v2, but it is in the hope of the latter's improved
facilities (and greater maximum library size), not of impaired
word-processor performance.
