I get the word processor WordMaker for Apple Macintosh. I am not sure but WordMaker works on script manager. My system installed three script. US/Japanese/Hebrew in my system. In some functions WordMaker works good more than my MacWrite5.0 in English. Mail merge, color fonts, multi window, etc. Of course WordMaker include 100,000 word spelling cheker. WordMaker can handle latine alphabet, hebrew alphabet and Japanese Kanzi/Kana characters at the same line together. Cursor positioning at hebrew alphabet works no good. Japanese Kanzi/Kana characters are made of two byte code. WordMaker can handle Japanese word breaking appropriately. Scrolling speed of WordMaker is as same as WriteNow or slower, I feel. File open speed of WordMaker is considerable. Sometimes I met problem. If your whole document are written in latin alphabet, WordMaker can open it quickly. If your whole document are written in Japanese Kanzi/Kana or Hebrew alphabet, WordMaker need more and more time consuming. Open 50Kbyte latin alphabet document: about 20 second. Open 50Kbyte Japanese Kanzi/Kana doc: about 7 minute!! "WordMaker" for the Macintosh are produced by... New Horizons Software, Inc.
