Hi Jonathan, Actually, I can confirm what you say about most PDAs experiencing similar problems! I did a quick survey among sighted colleagues who have mainstream PDAs, and they all without exception confirm that they have had problems with complex Word document structures - they had concluded it was CE causing the problem! Just for your general interest!

In fact most PDAs have this limitation. What we improved upon in 6.1 is that many Word 2002 and 2003 documents that couldn't be opened before can be opened now. So the statement made in the preview of 6.1 is absolutely correct. We do now support Word 2002 and 2003, however the same limitations that have always applied still apply. We'll hopefully address this in a future version, but the bottom line is that you can read more Word files in 6.11 than you could before. I think the point made by some on this list about the documentation being more explicit about what might break the Word conversion is an absolutely fair one, and I'll ensure this gets addressed and appreciate the suggestion.

I MAY NOT LIKELY UPGRADE until this major bug is sorted out, or until PDI issues an APOLOGY for what in my books is UNFAIR MARKETING PLOY/ADVERTISING. Imagine the electric companies being EXTREMELY UNBECOMING in its representation of a service that IT DOES NOT actually provide or support? We'll be racing down the street to get the Public Utilities Commission on its back! But what do you do when it comes from a company in whose product you SHELLED OUT nearly $7000??
