Thanks, Donna... I actually have the latest version with the translators (in
addition to having MacLink Plus Deluxe installed too). It's just not the
same. I lose a lot of formatting transferring back and forth, and I don't
find AppleWorks to have on the features of MS Office that I'm used to on the
PC side.
My workaround has actually been using MS Office on VirtualPC 4, so I expect
that any performance decrease I'd get from using Office 2001 would pale in
comparison to the way I'm doing it now.
