Bob,It indeed depends. If your work involves converting formatted text to databases or desktop publishing applications, I find Xy3+/NB3 preferable as the formatting codes are much more manageable. On the other hand, Xy4 is more advanced as a word processor. So, if you stay within the Xy product for all your work, Xy4 is better, but if your target is beyond, you may well find Xy3+ better suited to that aim. E.g. for building encyclopedias and dictionaries, Xy3+ is better, but for writing a thesis or a novel, Xy4 outshines.

Still that raises the question ... which product is preferrable, 3+ or 4? (I realize the answer is "it depends" but is there any general sentiment?)
