The PC has at least two very good higher-end word processors: | Word and Word Perfect, both of which sell for about $225 from most mail | order sources. However, there is no really good package in the $100 range on | the PC. There is on the MAC: WriteNow. WriteNow is very easy to use yet very | powerful. It can handle letters, reports and so forth with no trouble. | (The only reason to use Word (which is harder to use and more expensive) is | when you need its style-sheet capabilities.) Doesn't Windows Write qualify for this category? Plunk 70 bucks down on Windows, and you get your simple yet capable word processor, and a whole lot more. -- Rick "Any questions? Any answers?
