- Why wean her off it?

-
- Last time I used it, it seemed to work fine under System 7.0.1. I
- haven't given it a throrough workout in some time, however, so
- there may be lurking bugs. If there are not, it's still a better
- outlining program than anything available today. If you must get
- a newer program, More is a possibility, albeit an expensive one.
- Nisus has outlining macros, but you really don't want to try to
- use them :-(.
-
- |> 2) How do I translate MindWrite documents into Word dcuments?
-
- MindWrite can save in text-only format. I don't think it can
- save in MS word format.
