Re: NotaBene 7.0

What you say is true, Bill, only if NB 8.0i was installed over a
pre-existing, working copy of an earlier version. It is precisely the
file import/export (general) feature that I need(ed). NB 8.0i does not
have it; it just doesn't destroy it if you already had it in your
earlier version. As for my personal situation, it is now solved. Anne
Putnam, the creator of NB, most kindly sent me a very early version of
8.0 that still had the feature. Installing that, as I have now done,
and then upgrading to 8.0i (or 8.0j which I am told will be out next
week), fixes any bugs that were caught in the interim upgrades without,
as I say, undoing the "save as XyW4" that was formerly included in the
general import/export menus. So, word to the wise to anyone who
depends, as I do, on this feature -- take good care of your older NB
installation disks, since in the current and any future versions of NB,
there will not be a "save as XyW" option.

Does anyone have a good installation disk of Nota Bene 7.0 s/he would be
willing to lend me? (Or know of a place from which it could be
downloaded?) That was the last version that had the "save as XyWrite 4"
feature, which I liked. My old disk has gone bad and cannot be
reinstalled. I bought 8.0i without realizing it lacked this key (for
me) feature. Nota Bene does not stock and sadly cannot provide old
versions, even to registered users (as I am).

Peter,
NotaBene 8.0i is able to save in XyWrite 4 format, but you need to
set it up to do so. Access Tools > Preferences > and click on File
Import/Export (General) and answer "Yess". This works for me.
