Thank you David! I'll try that.
Is there a place to request features.There is a really cool one from
WordPerfect. Where you can see the "code" behind what you are doing. Think
of it as using a wysiwyg html editor and then being able to see and edit the
source code.
Wordperfect is the only word processing program I have ever seen that.
Also, one other question for you. I inadvertantly deleted some of the
templeates that came with kWord. (I love this program!) Do you know where I
can get the original set of templates. I searched and did not find anywhere
they are available for download.
If you don't have the time to answer I understand. But I hope you do.
Sincerely,
Allen
