Yes, [@Stephen Bennett], I just tried again and the servers at Ability suddenly magically fixed themselves, I wonder what provoked that?

PS — I said I dont review discontinued programs, but I’ll just say this: I tried a search-and-replace and it locked up requiring termination through task manager, twice, losing the as-typed document on screen, no recovery information … if this is fixed in v8, then why offer v7 … just to aggravate us?
It’s a lot of work to compete with Microsoft head on, even Microsoft refuses to do it, having bought Word from a non-Microsoft programmer, and then marketing it to a fare thee well via monopoly practices to defeat WordPerfect’s worthy dominance.
Ability’s inabilities are no surprise to me, I wish them great good luck, but word processing is an overflowing field with fully functional offerings from many other companies, and unless one is going to distinguish themselves with something unique, then one is doomed to be an also-ran … if their program runs at all, which Ability is unable to do for me.
