Hi equil: Thanks for the comment. Your post was very interesting. What do you think your wife found in Write Now that made it so useful — say over AppleWorks, or more aptly considering that she was writing a thesis — Nisus Writer? And a question: was there a footnote facility in V. 4.2? (I have an old app called End Note 2 Plus but I've never used it.)

I am thinking that when you dumped the whole bag into RTF and then into Word, you must have lost a lot of formatting. Just how bad was it? I took 'Classic' out of our eMac. My Intel MacBook would puuke WN out. This leaves only my PB-3400 which cannot access our USB printers. I retired our Stylewriters when they got very tired and a PITA. So, I am facing a similar situation.
