Absolutely, yes, Yes, YES! I would do it again, in a heartbeat/New York
Minute/pick the colloquial idiom of your choice.\
And, who CARES if Bill Gates doesn't love you anymore? :-) Anyone that
could release a ****** piece of software like Word 6, and create an
installation nightmare like Win95 had originally, is not needed in my
software library!
However, there are a few things you need to know about the actual process
of converting from Word to Frame. Contact me via separate email, and I'll
outline them for you.
