This is no answer. If NisusWriter the Real Thing existed, it would be an answer, but NisusWriter the Real Thing *doesn't exist*, and now there is reason to think it soon won't work in Classic. The most disturbing thing about Charles Jolley leaving Nisus Software is that this is *his software*, and he's leaving it behind. So the old NisusWriter Classic code is dead, and the chief author of NWE is gone, too. The problem is, the NisusWriter user base has always had an impossibly long wish list. But the people who *care* about NisusWriter are the ones who were happy with the old version. And, for the most part, they haven't gotten what they wanted. I do think the Nisus Software folks need a rest; that incredible cycle of late betas means that they were doing all-nighters to squash last-minute bugs. (I've *been* there.) If they don't take a break, it will probably make it harder, not easier, for them to get the next release out. But they really do need to think about where the program is going. -- Bob Waltz [EMAIL PROTECTED] "The one thing we learn from history -- is that no one ever learns from history." _______________________________________________ Nisus-interactive-nisus.com mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nisus.com/listinfo.cgi/nisus-interactive-nisus.com
