Leeke) Organization: Stanford University Lines: 32 Keywords: Word Processing for Books I've got the following minimum requirements for a WP: o Several thousand index entries o table of figures o table of tables o table of contents o foot/endnotes o bibliography o graphics blocks and in-line o style sheets o Full Mac editing/styles/etc. o Several hundred pages total (a single file or mult. linked files) Since FullWrite is still VaporWare and WordPerfect is already 2 months behind schedule I've been using Word 3.01. It seemed to go well until I hit Word's 1MB limit. It seems pretty crazy that a program can read a file in but not save it! Word also has a hard time with a large index. Is there a program I'm missing or do I have to wait for FullWrite, InterLeaf, or FrameMaker? What say ye? Is there a program I'm missing? Is Microsoft going to update Word (Excel) to get rid of the 20b bug? Thanks, Steve Leeke -- Steven D.
