H Everyone
I would like to see Legacy update their program so I can(we Apple users) can 
use our  APPLE'S.  That is without the hassle of having to get the Word 
conversion to apple. I had a PC but it died so now I a\have an apple now all I 
can do is watch everyone’s chat and comments and wish I still had a PC Word.
Please push Legacy to move forward and get their program on a Apple format
