Being new at this matter of reviewing
Software products, I have learned very
quickly that if one were to attempt to be
really thorough, the review would

WriteNow‚Ñ¢ 2.2 from the point of view of a
Mac IIci user to give the reader a look at
the product from that angle. The product performs pretty much as advertised; it is a very functional product (I'm using it to write this article); and, I have uncovered no major problems while using it in the time available for this project.
On the positive side, I have observed

which shows six choices for file formats
which cover most situations one would
need for this purpose.This way one can

on the format selection and see the
available files appear in the file name
window. The "Save As" function has five
choices. Most programs I have seen to

button in order to see the choices and
make selections, this one tells you the
types without additional "button pushing".

features is it's speed. It is less than one
third the size of the three major packages
which are often compared to it; and, it
does run
noticeably faster;
however, I must
point out that the
