- Regarding running Word 6 vs. Word 5 under Executor, it's probably easier to
- run Word 6 for Windows instead. Word 6 for the Mac is more or less a direct
- port of the windows version, right down to the opening screen graphic, and
- takes a long while to load. The windows version is much faster, and you
- gain direct access to printing functions that you wouldn't have under
- Executor.
-
- This isn't to say that I *like* Word 6 - I consider it a great insult that
- Microsoft dumped the Macintosh version and just ported Windows code instead.
- However, if you need it, you need it...
