The “trick” to converting Write Classic to Write Pro is to abandon any idea that it will be easy or quick. It will likely take way longer than you estimate. You also need to give up any concept of how things are done in Write Classic. Write Pro uses a completely different approach. It is an “additive” environment, where the default is basic and you have to add features and functionality. That’s the opposite of Write Classic, which started with all the features turned on and you had to turn them off as needed.
