If you have hard returns at the end of lines (i.e, you hit return to end
each line rather than auto wrap or you imported an ascii file) then the
format (F10) will not work.

There is a PD program called 1ST_CVRT which will read ascii files and add
soft returns in place of hard returns. Once you have soft returns, the
paragraph format will work fine. I used WordWriter for over two years
and can say with all honesty that paragraph format DOES work.

I switched to 1ST Word Plus because WW lacked a goto page and WW popped to
the top of a doc on a save operation. However, I miss WW's dictionary -
I've used Word 4.0 on a Mac, WordPerfect on a PC and 1ST Word Plus on the ST
and none of them have the spell check capability of WW.
