In some ways Word 4/Mac is well advanced of Word 5.x/DOS. >Just because 5 is a higher number than 4 doesn't mean it's a more advanced version. For the sake of completeness, I'll add my general impression of Word for Windows...which is great! The user interface is near perfect, and important features missing from Mac Word (automatic numbering, character-based styles, macro programming language, etc.) have been included. I think Microsoft finally got it right! It's almost worth moving back to my PC for. :-) Tom Scavo scavo@cie.uoregon.edu
