- One thing that annoyed me with Final Copy I, and I have not seen II to see
- if it has changed, is that the font requester is not a real font requester,
- but rather it is simply a file requester. You can attempt to change to
- a file other than fonts. If you choose a file that is not a font file, then
- strange things happen in the program.

- Like I've said earlier, Final Copy II is usable. It has omissions and
- enhanced features over other word processors. Let it be said, though,
- that no word processor on the Amiga comes anywhere near the quality or
- feature list of Microsoft Word. Maybe someday...
