I did talk to a salescritter at the booth, and he said that Word 1.05/3.0?
compatibility will NOT come out with this version of FullWrite. The reason?
Microsoft hadn't told them about how the Word files are formatted. Should
be coming out in the next version, though.
BTW, I LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE (*pant pant*) this program!!!!!
Another BTW: any comments about WordPerfect's 'betaware'? Nice concept, eh?
(Well, I THINK it's WordPerfect. My sales literature is at
home, though...)
