I recieved an upgrade (bug fix) to FullWrite 1.1 about a month ago if I
remember right.  It also included new features (which kinda bends the
version numbering rules) such as multiple dictionaries and some others.
However, now I find that with my current setup I encounter even more bugs.
One that especially bothers me is the spell checking, which doesn't suprise
me considering they did some hacking on that.  Has anyone else encountered
this problem?  How about any others?  I do use MultiFinder with FullWrite.

I too plan to use FullWrite for writing my thesis.  I think it should handle
the task very well, considering the capabilities it has.  I'm not familiar
with Word, so I can't judge it at this point.
