Sounds like a wonderful app.
I can't stand Word97. I've never bothered to read a manual for it, in any depth. It claims to be friendly but it has the most annoying ways of helping.
Changing ":)" into a SmileyFace is controlled by the Spellchecker? How is a new user supposed to know that?
I want back the weeks of my life spent over the last 7-ish years fighting with it.... I'm constantly frustrated by its automatically jumping in and changing a number into a numbered paragraph, or not doing so when I want it to, or changing indents when I don't want it to, etc. And don't get me started on how it changes positioning of graphics files on the page, and page breaks, when I change from a Lexmark PS printer to a Canon i550. What I usually have to do to preserve formatting for other readers is to print to PS, then convert it to .PDF with Ghostscript and distribute the .PDF.
Of course, PowerPoint97 is worse in many respects.
Yeah, yeah, "RTFM". Thanks. ;-)
It would be really nice if the now defunct [link|http://www.os2ezine.com/v1n3/describe.html|DeScribe 5] had modern import and export filters. That was a wonderful word processor (for OS/2 and Win32).
Your application sounds wonderful. Is there any way you can benefit from it outside of work? In other words, is there a public version?
Thanks.
Cheers,
Scott.
