There really isn't anything to fix, so T/Maker has nothing to distribute. 
There is a work around for 7.0 (and 6.0.x users running MultiFinder), tho. 
That is, use Font/DA Mover and install the Wordmaster DA in the WriteNow 
application itself. By doing this, the Wordmaster DA is opened in the 
WriteNow layer like it wants.
