Q:

What has been added or changed in version 2.0 of OpenWrite?

A:

OpenWrite is a full-featured and easy-to-use word processor with a variety of basic and advanced features:

Headers, footers, footnotes, endnotes and multiple-column formatting make OpenWrite ideal for all types of documents, including technical reports and newsletters.

Hierarchical paragraph styles allow users to easily change the layout of an entire document by changing the formatting and style of its paragraphs

Extensive control over graphics, lets users set "clip paths" that direct how text will wrap around images, and designate whether in-line images should be "fixed" or "floating"

Support for Open Object Embedding (OOE), a powerful linking and embedding technology, eliminates the drudgery of repetitive copy/paste and allows users to embed live-linked selections from any OOE-compliant application in their documents.

Unlimited undo, kerning and line-spacing control, and more.

OpenWrite 2.0 adds compelling new functionality, including:

Support for multi-file books, with simple-to-use indexing and table of contents generation

Automatic paragraph numbering and bullet styles, with customizable markers and variable formats

Cross referencing

Redlining for easy document editing

Extensive HTML support, enabling users to quickly create and generate HTML documents for display on the World Wide Web.
