WriteNow was a great word processor. I used it for quite a while. When I finally gave it up, I used the feature in WriteNow to save in RTF (rich text) format. This preserves most of the formatting and can be imported into any version of Word because that's what Microsoft designed RTF to do. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
