Dom! You`re best off using CIX to contact Arnor. Why pay the cost of a transatlantic call with Fax. Or as I said before, post something on here and I`ll forward whatever on to them. I`ve no yard stick to measure Protext by, as I`ve never used Word Perfect. The only WP programs I used in the past were a far simpler type. I only know that I originally purchased Protext, because it was the first Amiga WP program, I knew of, to have a word count, which I desperately needed at the time. This lack of word counts in Amiga WP programs always annoyed me. I started playing with computers back in the early 80`s, cutting my teeth on a C64. The s/w I used was Easy Script, with its duck-shoot type of menus, and it had a word counter. I missed this option when I upgraded. Here in the UK, we take it for granted that many of the s/w programs we use have Americanised manuals..because they are American programs. One of the biggest problems we have is the dates are written the wrong way around <g>. Also in the UK we do not use the 24 hour clock, but so much of the hardware coming in from Japan and Germany etc., uses the 24 hour clock, that we accept it. I vaguely remember a saying, something about the British and Americans being divided by a common language, this seems even more true than ever! Nancy
