Hello people!
Thanks for the opinion, Andreas. I work with the Word too, on my PC and my Mac. I used to use a Portege, with Word too, before I start to use my Newton 2000, and now, my 2100 with keyboard. I think it is very usefull to writting long texts, because I am writting a book on it - the novell don´t need footnotes : ) - and I was just wondering why nobody tried to create a package to add footnotes on NewtonWorks.
I hope someone can do that, because SoftMaker have the TextMaker, that works on HP 680e and it works with footnotes.
So, there is.
Who will gonna try?
Cheers
(sorry about my English!)

Assunto:[NTLK] [NTLK] Writing thesis on Newton (quite off-topic indeed)
