Which Word Processor?

I'm a molecular biology major with a Mac Classic still running system
6.07. Up until now, I've used ClarisWorks, as I frequently had to
have charts with spreadsheet-type calculations in the same document
as my text. I used it mostly for lab reports, with the occasional term
paper thrown in, and it's performed adequately.

However, I've got a 50-100 page thesis coming up next year, and I'm
not sure if CW is up to it. I have access to my lab's copy of
Cricket Graph, so the mathematical side is not a problem. However,
which word processor would be my best bet? I've narrowed my choices
down to WordPerfect, MS Word, and Nisus. It has to have indexing
and table of contents, and have a way to import data tables and graphs.
(Although a word processor that doesn't have this capability must
surely be doing poorly in sales (-; ). So, e-mail or post any
suggestions--I'll be listening!
