Very shortly, I will be starting on the long, arduous task of actually documenting my thesis work. I'm looking for advice on what word processor to use. Here's the background on the thesis: Length: 50 - 200 pages Equations: 50 - 500 (depending upon how detailed I get...) plots: Many! (Most are available as MacPaint files.) Footnotes, and references should be well supported. Superb spell checking is an absolute must! (And as painless as possible, i.e. shouldn't flag equations, etc...) Must run on a MacII with 1 Meg. (Doesn't have to work under MultiBug...) Must be available NOW! (I guess next week would be ok, but no later...) The alternative, is to write the thesis using Scribe on a VAX; a most disheartening possibility if you have lots of equations and pictures. Since this is probably a fairly common problem, responses to the net are probably appropriate; however, I'll be happy to summarize if you wish to mail to me directly. Thanks! Paul H.
