1998-12-21 Thread Chang, FKK
Hello all, All the ranting about Corel's misleading strategies aside, before I download it (paying by the minute, you know), I'd like to know: 1) does it load Word 95 (or 97) docs *correctly* ? 2) does it write these *correctly* ? 3) can it cope with "fastsave" docs *correctly*? With `correctly'
