There's no reason to leave the shell or Stationery document in the same folder as WriteNow. Leave it anywhere you intend to use it most. In general, I make shells for a variety of specialized documents: memos, letters, faxes, etc. You can not only set the font but the interline spacing (leading) and leave in constants such as the (updating) date, header/footer, margins, etc. However you do it, you have to remember to do a Save As in order to leave your shell unchanged. Naturally, this technique works for any Mac application. Steve Goldfield
