You'll probably want to do a global replace on font name, margins, etc., but the text and basic formatting you mention will all be there.Thanks for the recommendation. How do you think this combination compares to WordPerfect for Apple II? (Since I did most of my school assignments in the mid-to-late 1980s with AppleWorks, I remember pretty well how to use it - I never touched WP/A2).
I was a long-time user of Appleworks, and only briefly played with WordPerfect on the //e, but I think your choice should be guided by what you are more comfortable with, so the tool itself fades into the background as you write. I suspect that means Appleworks, unless you really are looking forward to learning to control another word processor. ;-) (Then, there's the fact that Appleworks files are easy to convert, while WordPerfect files may be more of a problem.) -michael ******** Note new website URL ******** NadaNet and AppleCrate II for Apple II parallel computing!
