Two answers:
Italian definite/indefinite articles:
un, un', uno (sinar); what do you want to do with partitives?
lo, la, l', gli, (in Modern Standard Italian)
2. Italian CAI and wordprocessing/font(s0
Of CAI, I don't know too much worthwhile stuff; there are page-turners,
to go with specific texts. Please feel free to contact me if you
would like information.
I use Word Perfect on the IBM with a Spell-checker (costs extra). The
Spell-che cker also exists on the Mac (with Word-Perfect); our student
network has just been equipped with Spell-checkers for Italian, FRench,
Spanish, and GErman. They work reasonably well.
Fonts: you can redefine keys to print the accented characters. However,
with Italian you can also do what Italians without a special typewriter
do: use the apostrophe after the word, since only final vowels are
accented.
Again, if you would like more specific information, feel free to contact
me.

on laser printers: there is no such thing as a laserjet II plus (the p
stands for personal). The laserjet III has two main features that the
IIp lacks , speed and scalable typefaces. Moreover, the III has a kind
of hinting or something which changes the sizes of the dots in curves,
making the resolutiojn seem much higher. the difference is visible.

Subject: HP LaserJet II vs. HP LaserJet III
In response to Mark Sacks' inquiry about the relative merits of the
HP LaserJet II vs. the LaserJet II printers, I have used both. Simply
stated, the III does a lot more than the II for less money (at least
until HP chopped the price of the II). The III has four sets of internal
fonts, two of which (Times Roman and Univers) have four styles--regular,
bold, Italic, and Italic bold--which are scalable from 2 to 200 points.
Thus in WordPerfect I can ask for a font change, select Times Roman
Italic, then specify 30 points, and I'm ready. The III also has an
option for better resolution (800 dpi as I recall) with additional
software.

re: NB->WP
We have used software bridge successfully to convert documents between
Nota Bene and WordPerfect 5.1. All the print types and modes seem to
convert properly.
