I don't know, but we REALLY like it. I've acquired licenses for everyone here that deals with cleaning Word files. Now, like all automated programs, if you get a genius that does this:

Typety-type-type-type (continuing sentence) ENTER
ENTER
typety-type-type-type-ENTER
ENTER

between lines--not paragraphs, and then does NOT hit another "enter" between paragraphs, it's deaf dumb and mute. (People who treat Word like a typewriter and type "manuscript style" with 2-line spacing, manually.) It's helpless, but so is every other automated program, even the ones we've written in-house. {shrug}. Without true AI, I don't know how anyone would address that one. Sure, you could look for lower-case letters, etc., but then, figuring out new paragraphs would be a mother. Ya know? (Well, yes, YOU do know, better than most.)
