Left justification is OK by me. I just need something that can: 1) handle 
100K files (typical chapter size for me), 2) export and import a format 
that MS Word for Windows can read, and 3) is easy to use.  I understand 
EGOed fits the bill. I called EGO Systems and placed an order for it 
yesterday.  Hopefully it'll be here by Monday. In the mean-time, I'm 
using WordPerfect GS, which is OK - it handles big files just fine, and 
its normal file format is the same as an old version of WP for DOS, so 
Word can import it just fine.  The only down sides are: 1) it crashes as 
often as my Windows box at work, and 2) I can't print to my DeskWriter 
with it.

Yup!  Thanks...
