I have been using Microsoft Word 7.0 for Windows 95 and it has been working pretty well. I already had it and it has drawing capability. I had to create my own components, but since I wanted to release documentation and a schematic as well as a .HEX file for my hidden transmitter controller on the net, I figured this would be a popular format. I can also easily convert the drawing art to a bitmap at any resolution, so I can publish it on a web page. When I do complete version 1.0 of my project, anyone should be able to download the .DOC file and use the components I created for other schematics. It probably would not be a good choice for a complicated circuit, but for a few ICs and some glue, it's fine. Byon
