I've been up until 2:00 A.M. the past few mornings test-driving
Microsoft Word 3.0.  I love it.  The page preview feature is
really neat.  And boy, is this bugger fast - scrolling, saving,
printing, repaginating - what an improvement!  Everything I've 
ever wanted in a word processor and more.  Style sheets make formatting
a snap.  The spelling checker is pretty good.  I don't mind the
outliner, either.  The documentation is very extensive.  What an
impressive package.  The only problem is fitting it all on a 
non-enhanced 512K machine.  The application takes up 393K, so that
means the system on the other disk has to be stripped down
considerably to make room for a few documents.  Won't run on a
minifinder.  The only way I was able to use the spelling checker was 
on a Mac+ at work, also allowing me laser printer access.  Time to upgrade.
(Actually, it works on my 400K drives, but requires some disk
swapping (I HATE disk swapping!).
