nope. then again, i've always had issues with 'cinnamon writer' on all my amigas. i much prefer the 68K solutions like wordworth or amigawriter.

Are AmigaWriter and Wordworth abandon-ware or able to be purchased new still? Or only buy on eBay some older versions?

Wow, wonder why this version is not on os4depot?
I will give this version a try.
Thanks

I can confirm I'm using version 0.95B2 without problems on my X1000 running FE update 1 - I agree it is a bit limited at present. I tend to use AbiWord under AmiCygnix.

AmigaWriter is now held by Terminills and is being updated along with the whole office suite.
Search the forums and there is a link to the new Beta's, try it!

Oops, your right and you may still be able to get it from them.

The Cinnamon .85beta does boot and seems to work. So I will use it a bit. Saving as .docx seems different. Uses ZIP somehow? Not sure I follow that but places a .ZIP file where I saved it as .docx. Will have to look into that more.
Yes, I hear great things about Final Writer. Wonder if we will see an Amiga OS 4.x compatible version?
