I broke down and bought ClarisWorks on the recommendation of several net-
readers (one of whom sold me his new copy at a discount!)  Anyway, I'm
still exploring it but there's one thing that puzzled and startled me:

when I brought in some Microsoft Word 3.02 files (CW is pretty good at
importing and exporting to a lot of different file formats, BTW), it
seemed to me that with the same margins set, CW was getting fewer words
on each line.  I know the Word's display is not true WYSIWYG (the ruler
is actually stretched a little), but this effect was noticible in the 
final printout also.  I printed a few test documents from both applications,
some with super-sized type, and discovered that _ the characters were
actually different widths when printed from the two applications!_  
The font characters printed out from CW are actually a bit wider than
when printed from Word.  This kind of astounded me, I thought all Mac
apps using the same fonts would pretty much always print the same.
So . . . does anybody know, does Claris actually use a different print
driver or something like that?  I thought something was fishy when I
went to print from CW and the print dialog has the "Faster" option
dimmed - you either print "Best" or "Draft".  

I guess this isn't a crime or anything, the print looks fine, I'm just
curious about this . . .
