I completly disagree.

More 3.1 is the best program I have ever used. The Slide Show feature was key.

The More Outliner allowed graphics to be outline elements. When a MORE outline was exported to word 4 or 5, the graphics were transferred.

MORE is the ONLY presentation program I have used that transferred graphics to and from Word. PowerPoint strips the graphics!

In current software, all WP programs strips graphics when transferring an outline to a presentation program.

In addition, More has one specific feature that made it unique. You can set the slide show to take all sub levels of an outline, and creat files. If you set the system to limit a slide to one outline level only, it mad sub slides.

With this funciton, you could structure an outline and allow it to create sub slides with correct titles that completly matched the outline structure.

All other presentation programs limit slides to the TOP level of the outline.

These features allowed MORE to be the BEST program ever for creating reports, lectures, handouts, book chapters and to automatically create slide shows at the same time that did not requre reformatting.

No current program follows capablity.

It remains the only reason to use a Macintosh.

It is why I may buy a refurbished PowerBook as my first Mac in 5 years.
