From Windows 95 thru to Win 2K, Write could save files in Word version 6.0 format (if you chose to save as Write ".wri" format but gave the filename a ".doc" extension it was saved as a Word version 6.0 file). Also if you changed the ".wri" to ".doc" on a Write document from that period, MS Word would open them directly as Word version 6.0 files. True, it was never an advanced Word Processor like MS Word or Word Perfect or Lotus Word Pro, etc. but it did possess basic word processing such as multiple fonts display, a text ruler with tab stops, graphics and object insertion (OLE) and its print outs were WYSIWYG. -- dee

However, it's a superb, solid, well-behaved word processor that's limited to .txt and .rtf. v3.30 is the last v, and is now 10 years old. It's well-crafted and has the standard word processing Must Have (!!!!!) group of four CTRL+ keystrokes. It's fast, and an excellent tool for writers and people who touch-type in general. It is a _real_ text editor and _not_ a "programmer's editor" that's called a "text editor." (Susan, et al: what's the one place where this can be downloaded?) I've tried many "text editors." This is the _only_ one that I've found that's really good for text work by people who are serious about text, rather than code. It's great for taking notes, too and provides multiple document handling. RICHED20.DLL (the exact proper version of it) must reside in the program's directory if you're going to be happy when working with .rtf. I cannot say enough good about WordTabs. Tell your friends. Get it. Use it! Run. What are you waiting for? (Yes: it's that good.) Richard |
