I saw a Nisus demo on MacConnection's MacTV off the satellite >last >week. It looks very good. Any comments regarding Nisus? 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. -Terry
