I agree with all the strictures re. Word, which is now really

others among us I've been using NB, which is fine except that the
tables commands are still apt to clutter things up, and from the
type-setting end I miss very much the fully scaleable type setting
commands in Xy. And I've forgotten how to turn a XY4 file into a .pdf.

Maybe I'm missing some of the meaning, but I seem to be able to have
fully scaleable fonts in NB. You can't use the Format/Font window,
however, except for whole numbers (9,10,17,24 etc.) but if you put the
cursor before the size you want to change, hit F9, and ask for 10.3 or
15.7, or whatever size you want, and then hit F10, NB will give you what
you ask for.
You can also, of course, go into Codes view, and make the appropriate
changes there.
XyWrite's Ctrl-T command is, granted, a bit easier.
