I've been off the net for a few weeks and may have missed any discussion
of Nisus. I'm very interested in this WP. I've been waiting for
Word 4.0 far too long, and am getting fed up with its quirks (I know
you're listening Microsoft -- it *still* loses characters while typing).
Anyway, if Nisus has been reviewed on the net, would someone please send me
a copy. My specific questions are few:
1. will it import Word 3.x files? styles? (I phoned Paragon about this
and the tech. support person didn't know! He did say "That's a good
question. I should really know the answer to that, shouldn't I?")
2. can you search for fonts and styles, as well as text?
3. I assume it has the same powerful reg. exp. searching and macro
capability as QUED/M, or so I've heard.
4. how's the indexing, esp. compared to Word's (I've been using Sonar,
which I'll be happy to review if anyone's interested)
5. sorting?
And, of course, subjective opinions about using it, it's speed,
built-in drawing capabilities, *robustness*, ...
Thanx in advance.
