This is indeed good news; the paragraph spacing problem is the only thing
that is biting me about FullWrite right now.  Did they say whether it might
be setable in a custom style description?  Custom styles could need
something to allow different first-line indention, too.  I'll have to attend
the ABF in Seattle next month and track soem answers down...

The table module sounds REALLY neat.  Any bets on it working with "Full
Impact"?  Ashton-Tate tends to try getting their products inter-related.

I must say that this news is something of a relief.  After filling out
Ashton-Tate's registration information, I felt like I'd been dealing with
IBM; phone help costs $$ after the first 90 days, something I'm not used to
-- whatever complaints I have had about Microsoft products, their customer
support has always been top-hole, and free to boot.  I was wondering whether
they were going to be improving FullWrite as they went along; a Fall release
is much better than I had hoped for, and the "table module" shows that they
must be listening to their customers, and are making fairly major upgrades.
Of course, I'll fully believe it *when* I see it...

The basic editor sounds good, too -- something I can put in MultiFinder with
VersaTerm...

I doubt I'll ever be fully satisfied, but I'm definately happy now, and if
their Fall release contains these new features, I'll be contentedly sated.
