Well, most wordprocessor users have their wordprocessors supplied by their business and if we are honest, we cannot expect to make a sizable inrow into that market in the _foreseeable_ future. The academic world, on the other hand, could be a market to easier get into, and has the potential of attacking the business market in the long run, for if a lecturer will start expecting student papers in AW format, there is a good chance that the students will stick with AW when their education is over, and in turn put pressure on their employer to let them use it (all the big companies realise that, that is why so many software products can be bought for greatly reduced prices if you are a student or a lecturer). Thus, being an academic :), I am reluctant to dismiss the academia as a marginal user group, and footnotes and equations as not very critical features. Tomas
