Click to expand...

All are good. But just for my own information, what mouse do you use? I have one with a scroll wheel too-and Appleworks ignores it.

Anyone know why? Is it our mouse or something like.....I don't know.....Appleworks is a badly written Carbon app?

Just Kidding. But Appleworks 7 better be Cocoa . . .

...

Id like to see a "this will destroy MS Office" feature, or maybe just the ability to export to standard MS formats like Keynote can (among other things).
