	===================================================	 
 What are the  differences between WordEasy and other word processors?
	===================================================
WordEasy contains most functions of other word processors, but also has 
unique functions not found in the today�s market. One such is a 50,000 
word database, which is automatically at you service. No extra keystrokes 
are needed. The screen is constantly showing words that are similar to 
what has been typed. This allows one to keep typing and not having to 
stop to look up a word in a dictionary. This unique feature alone saves 
the writer lots of time by helping to find words he might use in 
conversation, for instance,  but does not know how to spell. In such 
situations, the writer simply types  in the word by �sounding it out�.
	WordEasy will list misspelled words as you are typing. The program will 
give you a warning light if  it encounters a �misspelled� word, but  will 
not interrupt your typing. The �misspelled� words list can be shown by a 
mouse click when you start to check spelling. In this way, you can jump 
to any word you wish  to correct. In other word processors you have to 
follow the spelling checker word by word. It is possible to input a file 
and have WordEasy check for mistakes in spelling.
	Use wild card characters(*) to find words that fit a certain pattern or 
when you know only a few letters in a word.
	There are numerical tabs that state how many pages are in a file and 
what page you are at. By a simple click of the mouse or by entering the 
tab number you can jump from page to page.
	Now you are starting to see the usefulness of  this new concept, in 
which WordEasy works with you as you are writing, while the others wait 
till you are done.
