This is the reason for my post, NISUS is much better than Fullwrite. A friend of mine wanted to make a resume for his girlfriend. She wanted nice thin line below her name. Unfortunately, the smallest graphic one can insert in (almost)full-write is one inch. This was toooo big. But with Nisus, it was just right -- he just used NISUS' built in graphics to draw the line in exactly the right place, no switching to mac-draw, no problems. One other thing, NISUS has an excellent Spanish dictionary. It also has dictionaries in other languages (including Danish) but I can't vouch for them as I don't have 'em. They're sold as add-ons for thirty bucks or so. >-- >+--------------------------------------------------+ >Leonard Rosenthol | GEnie : MACgician >Lazerware, inc. | MacNet: MACgician >UUCP: svc@well.UUCP | ALink : D0025 ---------------------------------------------------------------- David Robinowitz dr@cunixb.cc.columbia.edu CU SEAS CS MS, NYC (212) 601-1586 "Never commit two crimes at the same time."
