Has anyone heard anything recently about plans for Pro-Cite to support WordPerfect in addition to Word? I'm supposed to be receiving the upgrade to WordPerfect 7 for Win95 soon and I'm hoping Pro-Cite is soon going to support it. I chose WordPerfect over WordPro (I used to use AmiPro) because of the promised ProCite support for WordPerfect, but that was a long time ago and I haven't heard anything about it for quite a while. Any info much appreciated.

Dear ProCite users, Due to the recent flurry of comments regarding support for WordPerfect in ProCite, I thought it appropriate to post this brief update. We are currently adding support for WordPerfect to ProCite and will release this as a no-charge upgrade to registered users. This is an active development project and we will release the upgrade as soon as possible. Please look for postings to this listserv, our Web site, and mailings which will announce its availability. Thanks for your continuing interest in ProCite! We look forward to providing this valuable enhancement for all WordPerfect users.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit With Word having such a large share of the market and WordPerfect such as small one, I am not surprised ProCite hasn't come up with the WP module. They might have intended to, if and when they found time, after ironing all the problems they had with ProCite 3.0, but it is obvious that it is not a priority now. Further debugging Procite 3.1/3.2 is probably a higher priority, or getting a 32bit version out. And I suspect that the personpower at the company is not what it would take to get all those things accomplished (nor could it be, if they're trying not to lose money). But, if you want to see the WP module, I suggest that you keep an eye open as to what Niles and associates are up to (ie the EndNote people, the competition.) As far as I can see they only have a Word module, so .... On the other hand, with enough pressure from us they may turn this (back) into a priority for one of the two companies, though I doubt it. I used to worry about this too, but then about a year ago I changed to Word and don't think I'm not going back. Jon

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Ton, You have indeed discovered one of the (few, I would say) weak points of Word 6/7. The ability to select the found string, or to place the cursor before or after, all that is not possible. Most major codes can be found though. Go to Format or Special at the bottom of the box. The codes are very simple to insert manually (unlike in WP), so ^p is paragraph character, ^t is tab, etc. One nice thing in Word is that you can substitute something with the contents of the clipboard. I still wouldn't go back to WP though. Word hasn't disappointed me in many ways. You have caught one of the few. Best, Jon PS By the way Word 8 is coming out very soon. Totally revamped, I hear.

Corel is making a sincere effort to support and promote WordPerfect after the horrible treatment by Novell. The new WordPerfect is a bargain; it is very stable, and I still think that it is easier to work with than Word, in spite of that program's gradual improvement. I have tried to use Word on several different occasions only to be frustrated by what was for me an illogical menu structure, commands that did not work in an intuitive fashion, and a pokey interface. I hope people out there who had given up on WordPerfect will give it another try and that ProCite will support it. EndNote (a competing bibliographic database) already does. And IMHO, EndNote is easy to use and has better support than ProCite.
