>Anyone know if MS Word supports Multifinder? 

I've been using MS Word 3.01 for a month-and-a-half with MultiFinder, both
Beta and Release versions, and haven't had a bit of trouble with it.  MS
Word, along with VersaTerm, are the two programs I've used the most AND had
the least trouble with in conjunction with MultiFinder.

Frankly, I think the problem with FullWrite's late release is that their
product planners kept adding new features well after the point where they
should have said "Code's frozen, send it to the beta sites".  Now they've
got a rushed bag of tricks with inadequate debugging, and they're trying to
get it in shape enough to send it out to Beta sites (I have two friends who
are designated FullWrite beta sites who STILL haven't recieved anything).

Or maybe all those rumors about Ann Arbor being bought up are true -- the
Oct. 26th issue of Macintosh Today said that MicroPro announced that "it was
negotiatiing the aquisition of a company -- which it would not identify --
that would provide it with a high-end Macintosh word processing entry."
MicroPro's CEO said that they expect to "announce the aquisition in 60 days,
and ship the product in the first quarter of 1988."

Hmmm... I wonder who they could be talking about.  I won-der what company
has a high-end word processor ready to ship for this quarter?  Could it
be... oh, *I* don't know... maybe...

                                                         he was going to say
                                                         that."
