I'm using AW 5.0.4 on my iMac (400 MHz, System 9.1). It does just about
everything I need. However, I am not impressed with importing RTF files
that were created with M$ Word (Mac or Windows): files with tables do not
import correctly, among other minor formatting errors (like a 10 page
document being converted to a 60 page document, with page breaks after
every two or three lines). Isn't RTF supposed to be a "universal" format?
RTF is a platform and application independent file format. If an Application truly "speaks" RTF, it should open almost exactly as expected in any other RTF speaking Application.
But, this -is- Microsoft we're talking about. You didn't REALLY expect them to adhere to an industry standard file format and ensure interoperability with competing products... did you?
Anyway, I'm considering AW 6.x, mostly for its ability to read and write M$
office files. What's the list's opinion about AW 6.x? How does it compare
to AW 5? And, lastly, how good are the M$ converters?
AW6 is lightyears ahead of AW5. I recommend version 6 for all AppleWorks users.
