From what I just read in the latest MacWorld, it looks as if Nisus 3.0 might be a good word processor, although I don't remember enough details to relate it to technical word processing in particular. I'm interested in hearing more about Nisus (3.0), in particular in comparison with Word. I had considered using FullWrite for a lot of my research note-taking and so on because of the built-in drawing features, but I decided to stick with Word 4.0 and MacDraw II when I found out that a FW paragraph style couldn't "include" a ruler, but was limited to changing *both* the left and right margins by an equal amount. (I frequently use bulleted lists where there's a hanging indent for the first line, and I couldn't get FW to do that using only a style.) There was one other missing feature (or misfeature) of FullWrite that caused me to decide to stick with Word, but offhand I can't remember that one. Mat
