I have used both Word 2.0 and Ami Pro 2.0 extensively. My personal
preference, and the one that sits on my machine at home, is
Ami Pro 2.0.  It is, in my opinion, far smoother, far superior
to Word 2.0.  Ami Pro 2.0 comes with a free offer for Grammatik,
the most popular grammar checker on the market today. (I don't
use it that much, but its easily accessibly from within Ami Pro).

I suggest you go to some computer store and sit down at a computer
that has both loaded and try them both out. They only functional
difference is the look and feel, nothing really much else. Oh,
except that Ami Pro comes with ATM, which isn't much of an
issue now with 3.1, but its still nice to have. I prefer ATM fonts
over TrueType still.

Ami Pro 2.0 is older and came out long before Word 2.0. For months,
Ami Pro 2.0 was *the* only decent, full-fledged Windows word-processor.
Its quality stuff and its written by Lotus (NOT MS, for once!)..
