Does any word processor on the market provide this ? > (Microsoft ? Are you listening ? 8) If I was to choose a word processor, case transposing would not be high on my list of requirements. It's something I need occassionally, but certainly can live without it. Autoindent can be achieved very easily in Word using the left hand indent. I think one has to be careful in comparing a wordprocessor to a program editor. I can't imagine that EMACS would make a very good wordprocessor, but it's probably an acceptable program editor. The requirements of the two types of editors are simply different. -- Peter Steele, Microcomputer Applications Analyst Acadia University, Wolfville, NS, Canada B0P1X0 (902)542-2201x121 UUCP: {uunet|watmath|utai|garfield}!cs.dal.ca!aucs!Peter BITNET: Peter@Acadia Internet: Peter@AcadiaU.CA
