Well, I have not used Word for several years, but I do use Nisus (but not for much longer, if the new version doesn't get out the door soon!). Some of Nisus' more interesting features: User settable number of undo/redo levels 10 clipboards drawing layer (e.g. a simple draw package built in) partial XTND support (you can use XTND, but Nisus doesn't come with it, or any translators -- specifically no Nisus translator! this is a real pain when you want to export from Nisus into some other package). Really powerful macro package a non-functional outliner (implimented in the Macro language, but too slow to use) a very nice spell checker (one of the better ones that I have used) +C ------------------------------------------------------------- Cory Kempf EnigamI, Inc. cory@enigami.mv.com ...!decvax!enigami!cory Annon: wi.5036@wizvax.methuen.ma.us "F' cryin' out loud, it's *your* life; shouldn't you at least examine your lifestyle values to see if they are really what *you* want." --Keith Lim
