Does Design Text : 1) Handle large documents? 2) Allow me to set a separate font / pointsize for page footers? 3) Automatic paragraph/section numbering, so if I insert a new item in a list, subsequent paragraph numbers are incremented properly?

Thomas, answers to your questions… 1) Yes, up to 5000 lines/window, up to 16 windows (you'd better have LOTS of memory), and the ability to chain files. 2) Yes for Fonts (And even Grafix), and sort of for point size (Just select a different sized font – But not WB fonts, but our own, to allow GOOD to SUPER printing, instead of chunky WB fonts on printers). 3) Yes, automatic para/section numbering for outline/table of contents features. Outline editor included FREE OF CHARGE! Got any tough ones? Bri

Brian, I thought #2 was the tough one. I'm not sure what you mean by "WB" fonts though, unless you are referring to the ones supplied with the Amiga. I still think it's a bad mistake to try to dictate to the users what is acceptable to them, given that the Amiga is capable of handling any font. Regards, Larry.
