No, they can't. Microsoft continuasly ignores user's needs, and this is a prime example. This is why I use Claris products. Claris used to be Apple (still is, depending on who you ask) and SURPRISE, their stuff is all compatible, and uses the Mac interface. I own Claris Macwrite, Resolve, Macproject and Filmaker, and use ONE dictionary and help system between ALL of them. I don't mean to insult you or degrade your software in any way, I jus mean to score a point anywhere I can for a company and software system that I believe to be truely well designed. I'm biased. (Olbviously). Slightly fanatic. Claris forever! :) Lyle .
