This is about the zillionth reference to sidebars on the net. Perhaps I
blinked, but I haven't seen any description of what sidebars are about.
I get a vague impression from the various postings, but it seems that such
an important concept deserves a better description for those of us who
haven't really seen FullWrite yet.

As a user of Word 3.0, I'm still considering whether to make the switch. I
am following all the postings, and have mixed feelings. FullWrite appears
to have a number of features I'd like to use if I had them. On the other
hand, it appears to lack some features I use every day in Word. I guess
it's more intuitive than Word, but then I've finally learned Word while
FullWrite was trying to get finished.

For now, I think I'll stick with Word, and wait for FullWrite to get 
really finished. (I'm looking forward to it!)
