Although there is a version of Microsoft Word designated as Version 7.0, it produces the same format as Microsoft Word Version 6.0. If JTC1 wishes to abolish the Word 7 format, then it also abolishes the Word 6. I would suggest that what is meant is that JTC1 does not allow the "Word 97" format. That is, in fact, a different format from Word 6. I would appreciate it if the chairman would clarify this issue. Regards, Jim Moore
