i will check out the calender thing when i get home today and see what happens.
as to opening word documents, it must be the demo that does not do these things. i
don't have many word documents, but the few i do have open just fine.
you have the applix demo running right? if it helps you could email me some sample
word documents, i can open them in applix and save them as applix files then send them
back to you. if the word docs you work with are simply text with basic formatting i
know it will work fine. i have also opened doc files with images and that works fine.
i haven't tried really advanced doc files -- say, columes with frames and such --
like one would have with a news letter.
applix will handle MSWord, Wordperfect, RTF, plain text, just about anything i have
run into. it also saves in HTML format which is somewhat useful.

Dear Adrian, Thank you for letting me know about Applix 5. I am a
newsletter editor so of course I have to write alot, also. It sounds
like it may be the word processor for me then. I would love to know if I
can create calendars easily with it. I have to place calendars with
events into my newsletter besides the articles and main body of the
newsletter. If you could easily find out if it can create calendars I
would appreciate that.
I checked out the help system on my Applix demo and it seems to be fine
so far. Does Applix open up Word documents OK? I tried to open other
documents on the demo but it would not let me do anything in that area.
I wonder if it is because it is just a demo.
Thanks for the information and assistance. I appreciate it. I may ask
more about it in the near future. Sincerely, Marcia
