At a Claris demo. on 04/11, I was introduced to MWII by a guy named Mike, who seemed very knowledgeable. Now, I've been around Mac since the 1st Hundred Days, but this was quite impressive! It has a lot of DTP features - multi-columns, graphics insertion, color, a better spelling checker than 5.0, thesaurus features, new rulers set-up, etc. Look out, MS Word, FullWrite, etc.! Yes, it's huge, but then so is everything else these days. But I admit I'm prejudiced in that I could never adjust to Word's less Mac-like interface or (what appeared to me to be) lack of uniformity. And, I never wrote 50+ pages/ document (still can't type!). Let's just say MW has always filled my needs very well. And I never had problems with it having bugs & blowing up. I'm sending off for separate copies for the Gov't. Mac here at work, & the SE20 I have @ home, just to keep my registrations both current. -Regards, Ron.
