| 	Is there no way to do line drawing with WinWord? I find NO reference
| to same anywhere in the manuals, but - having used such a facility with
| both Word Perfect 5.0 and even Word 4.0 - it's something I would have
| expected!
|  

     I recall reading somewhere (?) that WinWord does not support the
     extended IBM character set which means that you will be unable to
     use the line drawing chars. :(.  WinWord has many nice features, but
     I still prefer Word 5.0.
