It was beginning to look like taking on this doc was going to cost me big money for a whole second computer <u>plus</u> the cost of MsOffice when the serendipidous announcement of 1.1RC popped up in the aggregators.</p> <p>I haven't actually started to work on the document, so I can't vouch for much about 1.1RC, but I can say that (1) it didn't repaginate the MsWord document and (2) when I closed the document without making any changes, it didn't ask if I wanted to save it (the old version considered the conversion to be a document change).</p> <p>So far, so good.</p> Thu, 24 Jul 2003 11:56:27 -0400 garym comment 23 at http://www.teledyn.com
