gregm@csd4.milw.wisc.edu (Greg Mumm) (04/14/89)

Hi, I'm looking for one of two things:

	1) Cheap (hopefully) Word Processor that is easy to use and has
	   a spelling checker.
	
	2) A seperate spelling checker program that is compatible with
	   Apple Works

I am not familiar with the IIGS line that much (This posting is for
my girlfriend who cannot spell very well, but owns a IIGs), and I 
need a few recomendations conserning the above. 

**************************************************************************
If you've had good luck with either a word processor or a spelling checker
please take a few seconds to send me a reply! E-MAIL ONLY PLEASE. Thanks
a million!!!

I would strongly recommend AppleWorks 2.n (the classic version that
works on the //c and the //e, *NOT* AppleWorks GS) for the word
processor.  Classic AppleWorks is an integrated system with a word
processor, spreadsheet, and data base.  It does not include a
spelling checker, but for that, I would recommend the TimeOut
QuickSpell add on.  This program (along with the many other TimeOut
routines) can be invoked directly from within AppleWorks.  No need to
save your document to a file and run a separate program.
