Hi y'all,

I've just decided to write a thesis next year, and I think I'm going to 
have to invest in a computer.  Although I work on campus as a consultant for
WordPerfect on IBMs and AT&T 6300s, the facilities are much, much better for
Macintoshes (two LaserWriters are hooked up to a network of about twelve Mac
SEs, but the 25 IBMs print through an HP LaserJet that is dying a slow, painful
death).  I want to get an SE with a 20MB hard drive and maybe an ImageWriter 
II.  

My problem?  (Besides lack of money...<sigh>)  I don't know whether to get 
Word or WordPerfect.  I'll be using the system almost entirely for word
processing (unless, of course, I get a copy of Tetris).  My thesis will be
80-100 pages, with chapters, footnotes, a table of contents, and all the 
other fun trappings of an academic document.  I've used IBM WP 5.0 to type 
really large documents, and I really like it.  Does Mac WP have features
similar to Master Document, etc.?  How 'bout Word?  Which would you recommend?

Please reply by e-mail, as postings take a really long time to get here, and
anyway, they're threatening to shut off our newsfeed after we leave campus for
the summer.  Argh.  

Thanks very much.

Emily
