I have to agree with Ron and Jerry that Word (.doc) translation is nice, it is not an absolute priority. As long as we can edit RTF documents without using an intermediary format, being able import/export DOC files could have waited for am update. Having said that, we don't know if that is a factor in the delay in releasing a public beta. OS X's support for RTF must make the task of developing such a file translator much easier. No? I will be interested to see if the translator is from DataViz or is something like Recosoft's VINC utility, which does support double-byte language Word files. -- Mark Smith (InterLingual) <http://www2.gol.com/users/mspsmith/> Translation & Writing Solutions 6-8-401 Asahigaoka, Ashiya, Hyogo 659-0012 Tel & Fax: 0797-31-7999 --------------------------------------------------- The Nisus Interactive List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Searchable archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/nisus-interactive%40nisus.com/ To unsubscribe from this list please send a message with "unsubscribe nisus-interactive" in the body of the email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
