I've owned a Mac II and an SE/30 >and I *still* don't own MacWrite. (I use Word) You aren't really being fair to Mike. The reason for using MacWrite and MacPaint formats is that they are publicly available and all programs can use them. I don't disagree that TeachText might be the real solution but if you are going to use a word processor format, MacWrite format guarantees that virtually all users will be able to read it including you with Word. (The opposite of course would not be true, would it?) -- Jim Spencer - via FidoNet node 1:282/33 UUCP: ...!uunet!imagery!22.5!Jim.Spencer ARPA: Jim.Spencer@p5.f22.n282.z1.FIDONET.ORG
