WriteNow 3.0 is indeed leaner and faster while offering as many or more options
as other word processors of its type.  But be aware that it is not supposed to
be a mega word proccesor on the order of Microsoft Word.  It may not have
some features you desire.  What are you using Word for right now?  BTW I can
sympathize with your complaints about Word 5.0.  I use it but its still too
unwieldy to suit me.  You will find alot of Nisus devottees on the net and with
good reason.  Personally I think WriteNow has a simpler more intutive interface
and is better at getting in and getting out when you want to write something
with a minimum of interference from your software.
