Yup. MacWrite II 1.1 can import/export Word 4.0, while importing a
fast-saved 4.0 files have given me some troubles. I believe the upgrade
to version 1.1 is free. (correct me on this.)

I love that word processor. After having had problems with Word 4.0
with importing graphics from Formulator and SuperPaint, MacWrite II is a
pure joy to use. (also, it was only $60 from the college store :-) )

By the way, on the related subject, the update info for ver 1.1 states
that a copy of MacLinkPlus (or something like that) is included with the
disk, but my set did not contain it. Am I missing it because I have the
educational discount?
