Last week Infoworld and PC world both mentioned the windows version of WP. I don't remember ship dates, though. It looks somewhat like W4W, and I believe it also ships with a file manager. I'm a diehard W4W person myself. I also use Macs a lot, and the combination of MacWord and W4W is pretty good. I still have problems with binary compatibility and wish that the graphics would go across, but can work around most problems. As an aside, excel uses the same files for windows and the mac, and transfer across is easy as pie... kartik -- Anant Kartik Mithal akm@cs.uoregon.edu Network Manager, (503)346-4408 (msgs) Department of Computer Science, (503)346-4156 (direct) University of Oregon, Eugene, OR 97403-1202
