George
That seems to be the general idea.  I'll ask them about talking to you.  
They're kind of snooty sometimes; like "just believe me and don't ask 
questions".  Bet that comes as a shock to all of you who have to deal with PC 
Units out there.

Hi Ann,
 
I'd like to try and follow this up more specifically.
 
In the first place, what do Word documents have to do with it?  Are Freedom 
Scientific trying to say that if a Word Document has been translated by 
Duxbury, and is sent to a Duo, then the Duo can lose it's top of form.
 
I'm not right now trying to shoot from the hip, but would your PC unit person 
be prepared to talk to me (on or off the record) on the telephone, so that I 
can get a few more facts?  If so, what's their name, number and telephone 
extension.
 
George.

I was not told who said this to the person who gave me the info.  That person 
is employed in our PC Unit.  We have been having lots of problems with the Duo 
losing it's top of form memory.  I was told that FS gave out that the reason is 
Word 2000 docs.  I don't believe it either because we were having this problem 
way back when we were in Word 98 or 97.

Hi Ann,
 
If we are talking Duxbury here, then this is the biggest load of unadulterated 
c..p I have heard in a long time.
 
Do you have the name of this uneducated idiot?  By the time he's finished 
reading what I have to say to him, he will remember it when he is a grandfather 
with one tooth!!
 
George.

The PC unit at my agency have been told by Freedom Scientific that people who 
are using the VersaPoint Duo must convert any Word 2000 docs to WordPerfect at 
some lower version in order for the VersaPoint Duo to work properly.  Have any 
of you all heard that?  This is the weirdest thing I've heard in a long time.
