Ok. I have heard you mention these Ms-Word, WordPerfect, and RTF datatypes
but where are they? I've never heard of them before you mentioned them. So
far the non-OS3.5 text.datatype v44.2 has worked fine for the last 3 or 4
days since I installed it and I can mark text in multiview and double
clicking hilights a word... I'm hoping this is builtin to a new official
version of the text.datatype. It is the ONLY reason I gave the datatype a
try.
