    So, I'm finally giving up on keeping up with the Word and Excel
updates; I just can't afford it for the minimal work I do at home.
Both MS and Claris want to upgrade me cheaply from my old 1.0 copy of
MS Works, and I'm in a quandry.  My gut tells me to go with Claris
(great reviews; don't have to send Bill any more money), but I'm always
having to get stuff into MS format (Word/Excel) to give to others, and
I worry about Claris' import/export capabilities relative to that of a
MS application.  I haven't seen any reviews of the new MS Works, so I'm
kind of in the dark about what it's way-cool new features are.
    Anyone got an opinion?  If this has been discussed recently (it's
hard enough keeping up with the X newsgroups), could you email me a
copy of what you saved?  I'll be reading the newsgroup in eager
anticipation of net.wisdom on the subject.  Much thanks in advance.
