Redline and strikeout facilities allow you to create a marked draft.  Instead
of removing text to be deleted, you mark it for strikeout.  When you add or
change text you  mark it for redlining.  When you print out the marked draft,
the struckout text is overwtruck with hyphens, and a red line (actually a
vertical bar) is printed in the margin next to the redlined text.  That way,
someone reading the draft can tell exactly what has been changed.  After the 
changes have been approved, WordPerfect will, upon your commmand, remove the 
struckout text and redline to produce a smooth draft.

If MS-Dos Word has the same capabilities as Macintosh Word, I have to
agree.  In the latter, you can plonk a question mark down on any part of the 
screen you don't understand and get help on that feature.  Does anyone know
if this is a feature of MS-DOS Word?

Is it too late to add features?  Does Word have automatic
section numbering and outlining features?
