I have recently purchased a A500 w/1meg and 2 880k drives. I need a good word processor, preferably with a spelling and grammer checker, DTP and grafix compatibility are NOT necessary. It must not be so complex to learn that kids (c.13-15) and wives (non-techie) would have a hard time learning it, nor should it be very expensive (preferably _under_ $100). We've looked at Excellence! and it looks pretty good although it runs more like $150. ANY GOOD advice on a good general purpose wordprocessor would be greatly appreciated. NOTE: Response via direct e-mail would also be greatly appreciated since I can't keep up with the enormous volume of this news group. Many thanks!

If you are a student or teacher, you can buy WordPerfect for the Amiga for only $99. IMHO, there is nothing else that comes close to it as a professional wp on the Amiga. It's the only wp you'll ever need (except if you want graphics, that is.)

This price is quoted in US dollars and applies "to U.S. delivery for U.S. customers only." This price does not include shipping (choices are UPS Ground, FedEx 2nd day, or FedEx Overnight, and Utah residents are supposed to add 6.25% sales tax.

Is there a wordprocessor available which is BETTER than Word Perfect 4.1 (or whatever is the latest version for the Amiga). I'm thinking on the lines of a product like FrameMaker. My mother uses Word Perfect and she finds it really difficult to use ! - Robi -- INTERNET: robi@attila.esa.oz.au ACSnet: robi@attila.esa.oz Fax : (+61) (2) 953 9531 Robert Karp/// Tel : (+61) (2) 953 9488 //// UUCP : uunet!attila.esa.oz.au!robi \XXX/
