Works - I am afraid I know next to nothing about Works, except that we ship a converter they give us in the Word box. Chinese on the Mac. It's funny you mention that, because a friend of mine who is the PM in charge of MacWord is not only Chinese originally, Read More...

Word Myths and Feedback

Let's talk about Word

Posted Tuesday, April 27, 2004 3:36 AM by Chris_Pratley

Design a blogging feature for OneNote

Posted Wednesday, April 14, 2004 1:08 AM by Chris_Pratley
