Did all this and more - under GEM! Before there was Windows! Plus, you could create your text in ANY text editor and know exactly what you were going to get. AND be able to make wholesale changes by just opening another style sheet.
I used it a LOT from 1.0 to the first or second Corel version. I don't think the current version will let you save in the old half-dozen discrete files fashion of old and its new look makes things difficult for us old-timers; but I bet it still _well_ deserves to be in contention whenever these issues are raised.
Mercifully, I've never used Word much since the DOS 2.0 version. I hate Word! What a piece of crap! Frame is prodigiously capable and equally as arcane. I hate it too. I _used to_ hate WordPerfect, but now I thank the stars that I have it. Nothing else is close to usable. But old VP, now _there_ was a great program! Maybe current VP is too. -- Malcolm
