Could we take the discussion of swapping files between NB and WordPerfect
back to basics for a moment?  What are the inadequacies of the .DCA format
as intermediary--exported by NB, imported by WP?  True,you have to tell WP
users how to do it or ask them to look it up.  But I have had good luck with
it with the WordPerfect secretaries in my division and with a desktop
publisher who took NB copy & formats into WP and over to Ventura Publisher
without complaint.  I don't know if this makes .DCA a "good" program for the
job.  I'm just curious about others'evaluations.
