I was told by my rep that 4D Write would continue to work with future versions of the program. I have over 200 customers on a 4D Write-based application. Thousands of lines of code that procedurally assemble long OSHA, Canadian, and EU chemical compliance-related documents. Complete with Word-compatible style sheets and the export directly into the Word (.doc) format. It's one of our biggest selling points compared to the competition. When I last looked at their so-called "Pro" version, it had a tiny fraction of the capability of 4D Write, and a clunky, witless widget interface that won't even fit on my forms. No Word export. After all time that they have taken to make a replacement, they came up with this. Am I not up to speed with progress on the "pro" version? Does it have a normal interface again? Can it procedurally assemble documents with Word style sheets and a Word export? Please let me know if you know more, or if I am mistaken.
