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
