   II is a nice program, just a little limited. What features can we now expect
   in MacWrite Pro ( If you are at liberty to say )?

   Inquiring minds want to know.

Well, MacUser wrote up a review of word processors that showed a preview of
MacWrite Pro in September 1992.  That sidebar showed the following features:
 - Post-It style notes that can be attached anywhere within a document
 - Tables
 - Character-based style sheets with a floating style palette
 - A floating Tools palette
 - A floating tools palette
 - Graphics frames
 - Section dividers
 - Publish & Subscribe

There is also support for Add-It modules, to allow companies that make
auxiliary programs to word processors directly available from with in
MacWrite Pro (a la Word, Quark, etc).  An example of these Add-Its could be
a grammar checker (yech), math typesetting program, or footnote package like
EndNote.

On top of that, because of the section dividers, one new feature is being
able to have multiple columns per section, rather than per document.

Umm.  Let's see.  Oh yeah, if I remember correctly (please don't hold me to
it, though), you can now also have as many documents open as memory permits.

And the interface still only takes about 12 seconds to figure out, unlike
some other more popular, feature-overloaded word processors.

Anyway, that's what the MacUser sidebar showed, plus the things I've seen so
far in the beta.  There's probably more, and of course, there's always the
possibility that if any of these features contains bugs that can't be
repaired, the features might vanish from the release version.  In other
words, I can't guarantee you anything, but this is what appears to be new.
