Numbering is new and improved in FM6.

Why would you want to? And, you can, Save as MIF. FM 5.5 will open the MIF
and ignore any newer, version 6 features.

Sure, when Word 97 came out, Word 95 would not open Word 97 docs. (I
understand Word 97 will open Word 2000 files, but Word 2000 is very
incremental. Will Word 2 open Word 2000 files? Will AutoCad 7 open AutoCad
14 files?
Here's what I recommend, if you have clients or jobs that are stuck in an
older version of a software package and you cannot upgrade them, then use
the older version of the software to work on them. Otherwise, upgrade the
docs or clients to the new software version.
Cheers,
Sean
