Ok, here's the problem: My daughter, a junior in college, will need to do some term papers over the next few semesters. They need to be fairly complete with headers, footers, bibliographies, etc. So, I'm in the market for a decent word processor. I have an A1000 with 2 floppies and 1.5 meg RAM for her to use exclusively. I also have an A3000-16/50 that I use. I would like whatever I get to work on both, but it needs to cooperate nicely with 2 floppies as that will be the primary machine. I know Word Perfect is well thought of by some, but I don't know how nicely it will work with this setup. I know there are many more out there, but it is difficult to keep up with changes, etc. I guess I'd like something with a dictionary for spell checking as she has gotten used to that with an old version of Scribble! a friend gave me when he sold his machine. It has it's problems and I really don't want to spend the money on upgrading it. MSS is not my favorite company and their programs usually are behind the competition. I also use Online! Platinum, but this is the year I spend some of my tax return on ATalkIII. Anyway, I know there are bound to be opinions all over the place, so please no religious arguments. I need to know fast what folks think and especially what people's experiences are that are not found in various reviews/comparisons. I will reread Amazing, AmigaWhirld, etc., articles this weekend, but I'd like some more objective opinions. Finally, I plan to order whatever from SafeHarbor unless someone suggests a better place. Please forward replies via email. Cheers, And Thanks, Dave CMSgt David K Detert, USAF MILNet: detert@wpdis01.af.mil
