[comp.sys.atari.st] Seek Info about WordUp

I  am considering purchasing the word processing WordUp to use  to 
prepare a user's guide for a program.

In  order for this program to be useful to me,  I must be able  to 
import  DEGAS  (.pi3) graphics (which the  advertisement  says  is 
possible),  use attractive fonts of different point sizes, be able 
to  type in math symbols (e.g.  the little o  for  degrees,  etc).  
Also,  I  must  be able to get output on at least  an  EPSON  FX80 
compatible laser printer,  a Panasonic 1091 (FX80 compatible), and 
an Atari laser printer.

Since I have a 520 ST,  I'm concerned about running out of  memory 
(especially  considering  that I will be  including  many  graphic 
images in the document).   How can cope with a file that is larger 
than  the available memory - is there a way to chain files,  or  a 
file inclusion mechanism (a la #include)?

I have both color and monochrome monitors, but for word processing 
I prefer the monochrome.   Does this product have bugs  associated 
with monochrome (like MS Write)?

Is two column mode supported?   Is there some way to automatically 
generate an index or table of contents?



Thanks in advance,
