Projects are stored in Zip files, so all files relating to a document are kept in a single, compressed file. No stray files to lose, and less drive space is required to store projects. Students may copy a project to floppy to take it home. Write Environment automatically spans large projects to multiple floppy disks. Students may open projects stored to floppy disk from the File menu, or they may use any PKWare product to unzip a project at home, and then zip it back up to take to school.
Page formatting is more flexible.
You may use either the Write Environment file format or Word compatible file format. You can create and import HTML documents, RTF documents, and text documents. You can export to any of these formats as well. Simple portfolio management is available. When you select this option, Write Environment creates a subfolder for the class in the Personal Folder, and student folders for each student inside the class folder.
