Dear Monica and list members,
I got an email with the Serotek offer yesterday and decided to take a
trial of System Access. I tried it last summer and think that System
Access Version 3 is definitely an improvement. Has anyone on this list
had success proofreading with System Access and Microsoft Word? I
could not get System Access to announce page breaks. Maybe there is a
work around. Serotek has made a great offer. It would be nice to not
worry about the expense of paying for future SMAs.
