I posted an item a short time ago to this newsgroup complaining that Microsoft Australia were charging for upgrading Word 4.0 to 4.0a. As it turns out, the upgrade IS free. My reseller seems to not have received the notification (nor the disk). In hindsight I should have pursued the matter a little more vigorously. I unreservedly (and voluntarily!) apologize to Microsoft for the unwarranted bad publicity. Why am I doing this? Because I was contacted by Microsoft USA (in a friendly manner) suggesting that I investigate a little further, and because my reseller now tells me that Microsoft Australia are not amused by my trigger-happy action. I like Word 4, really I do. Pity about the bugs though. :-) Ben Lian Dept of EE & CS University of Tasmania P.S. And yes, mark me down as another supporter for character styles in the next release of Word.
