Eugene, "Suck" is such a subjective term that I can't give you a relative comparison. However, having used excellence! since 1.0, I can say that I have never had any gripes about the spell checker or Thesaurus. I particularly like the grammar checker (if only for the entertainment value). My previuos gripes have been with speed shich have been addressed. I'm not real fond of the way they require you to set up a 15 pitch page to use their post script fonts, but they provide a way to use adobe and ProPage fonts that really makes this a non-issue. The thing I don't like is that a standard letter sheet protrait line cannot be seen in its entirety on a line at 15 pitch. You must be a 10 pitch or less, otherwise you get into horizontal scrolling as well as vertical scrolling. This is n ot a problem with Adobe or PPage fonts since scale and pitch values allow viewing the entire line. However, the font looks rather small and is tough to read late at nite when your eyes are half open… wmc
