You can import just about any file type if you get "Express" version. The regular version handles MacWrite, ThinkTank, Text, Word, PageMaker. Dialog boxes have command key equivalents for most buttons Auto-save Multiple windows on a single document (outline of it, text of it, other stuff I haven't figured out yet) You can change the startup defaults Spell check only changed paragraphs Helps track revisions so your proof-reader only need look at what is new Good search/replace functions Table of Contents generation On-line help Good manual Nice tech support people Good price loads of other features I haven't tried out yet. Hope that helps. Jim
