It's not perfect, but it's >better than nothing (plus how often do you change styles??). I use FullWrite Pro and always use style sheets instead of choosing the styles directly from the style menu. I usually write the text with a more legible font and then change the sheets so that I get a smaller font for printing. Style sheets allow me to experiment with the look of my documents. I often have two styles that look the same, but have different names. I can then change the other style (maybe underline it) if I want them to be different. You can't do this with Nisus styles. Nisus is ok for a person that doesn't want to think about document formatting while writing. My mother uses Nisus and she is very happy. She has never heard of style sheets and previously used MacWrite. The multiple file search and high speed are what she really needs. _._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._ | Juri Munkki jmunkki@hut.fi jmunkki@fingate.bitnet I Want Ne | | Helsinki University of Technology Computing Centre My Own XT | ^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^
