OpenDoc Opens Up

Fe bruary 1997 / Inbox / OpenDoc Opens Up

Funny you should review OpenDoc ("An Open Window for OpenDoc," December 1996). I recently received two commercial document-processing products that use OpenDoc 1.1 on the Macintosh: Digital Harbor WAV 1.0 and Nisus Writer 5.0. I've been using Apple's Cyberdog and find it excellent for mixing and matching Internet-access items. OpenDoc seems to be good at combining things on the same page -- something I could never get any version o f OLE to do. Nisus Writer 5.0 is great at Japanese word processing, and WAV 1.0 simply amazes me. I've never seen text runaround or column formatting work so nicely. I expect great things from OpenDoc-based software.
