Having created a 'salt' feature for Stylistic Alternates in my OT-PS fonts, I find that MS-Word cannot see them.
In Word, RIGHT-CLICK on text, select FONT > ADVANCED > STYLISTIC SETS: 'Default' appears.
Clicking on this drop-down reveals Set 1, Set 2 Set 3 etc.
So how does 'Set 1' relate to a feature in the OT font table?
Should the 'salt' feature be linked in some way to ''Set 1'?
I cannot  find anything on the net.

I note that some designers are using Stylistic sets to address different page layout apps like Illustrator, XPress, InDesign. Set 1 for Ill/InDes, Set 2 for XPress etc.

Thanks for any insight,
Adrian

Right, in Word 2010 beta stylistic sets are working! (not in previous versions afaik)
Unfortunately selecting set 2 will disable set 1. Why? I would like to use a different "a" AND a different "g" at the same time!

Anyway, for Word (and InDesign) define features ss01 - ss20, not the salt.
