subject: HTML in 6.2D - NOT

 AA>I may have missed your very first posting on this thread, but where 
 AA>did you get the impression that HTML was supported, BTW?   I am 
 AA>looking through a special catalog from Misco that describes a variety 
 AA>of Corel products.  According to the catalog, WP Suite 8 contains 
 AA>"comprehensive HTML support" including Barista 2.0.  I think the WP7 
 AA>Suite does too.   But the modest descriptions for WP 6.2 do not 
 AA>mention anything about HTML.
I got that impression from reading an ad that included various versions of 
WP; obviously, I was mistaken.
 AA>If you truly need some kind of HTML support, there are many 3rd party 
 AA>or shareware products that should do the trick.  No need to agonize 
 AA>over the WP purchase. 
Could you name one, please? I looked through a large, recent shareware 
listing but couldn't find anything. I got one program that will let me import 
text into HTML, but I would lose all the fonts and formatting of WP.
 AA>Is that the same Tiger people that put together PCs?   I have a couple 
 AA>of machines from them.  Nice collection of hardware.
 AA>Companies seem to have rather strict software return policies.  As a 
 AA>registered user of WP, maybe you should just take your concern 
 AA>straight to WP (or would that be Corel now?)   I've delt with the 
 AA>those folks (when WP was in still the hands of Novell) and found them 
 AA>to be very helpful when I needed an update to fix a font problem.  And 
 AA>then of course I had access to all thos wonderful 1-800 numbers.  It 
 AA>seems that Corel has completely done away with 1-800 services and 
 AA>charges per every "instance".
I called Corel, but they wouldn't take it back because I didn't buy it from 
them. And, as you suggest, Tiger has a policy (spelled out in fine print in 
their catalog) of not taking back ANY software.
So what the hey, I've gotten much more than my money's worth out of 
WordPerfect over the years.
