I honestly can't comment too well on Amiga word processor capabilities, as I rarely use one. But I *can* comment on Word for the Mac? You actually used the first version of this? I did. I went back to using the copy of MacWrite we got with our original 128K Mac, as it was much better than Word. As far as I recall, it wasn't until Word 3.0 for the Mac came out that the product was any good. (Bennett's 1st law of Microsoft – Any Microsoft product with a version number of less than 3 is worthless. Bennett's 2nd law of Microsoft – Any Microsoft product up until 1990 with a revision number of .0 or .00 has too many bugs to be useful. After 1990, .00 followed by a letter, like .00a is acceptable in place of a .01 or the like… <evil grin>) I don't know for sure, but is there an Amiga word processor out there at least as good as the original version of MacWrite? –>Steve Bennett
