I got a look at Microsoft word the other day.  Its a really nice program - 
a bit slow though.  The one thing that pissed me off was that you need an
atari laser printer to print fonts.  Why is this?  Why not provide a set of
dot matrix fonts (as on the mac) so people with cheap printers can get good
looking output.  The lack of non-laser fonts cripples this program and makes
probably the best word-processor for the ST - almost useless!
(Yes - I know there is a metafile to postscript converter but if I had a
postscript printer I wouldn't be compaining)
