I agree.  I always liked Fullwrite.  There were many things it did extremely
well.  Had it been updated and given table features it would be my WP of
choice.  The only things I din't like were it's style sheets.  They were
powerful, but a bit clumsy to set up.  They also were distinguished from
character style sheets that well.  The other problem was it was slow.

It did beat all the other systems around though.  Oh that there were a
REAL alternative to Word.  Word Perfect doesn't cut, neither does NISUS.
I use Wingz instead of Excel (and am looking forward for a much needed upgrade)
and tyr and avoid Microsoft whenever possible.   I think the comments
about Microsoft intentionally writing their programs so that Windows looks
good isn't that off base.

Will someone bring back Fullwrite?
