Sorry, while I know that I promised to field some of the questions about
Nisus 2.02 a blockage in news has prevented me from seeing many of these
questions until today.  

Fortunately I see that they have been answered by other Nisus
afficianados (I knew there were some on the net).

A lot of names have been tossed around like Word and FullWrite and
people have been stating their preferences and such. Well I'd just like
to say that I have tried them all. Each has elements that I love which
the others lack (eg: Word's Table-handling). However, now that Nisus has
footnotes it looks like it has the most of what I want in a wp without
the hassle.

Stuff like style sheets and such I'll leave to Quark X-press and
Pagemaker when I need them. Sure they're handy and all but for my
student needs Nisus throws together a speedy, powerful compact package
that's hard to beat. I wrote a 40 page paper in FullWrite and while
I simply loved a lot of the features the program was just too slow and
unwieldy on a 1 meg Mac SE to be practical. MS Word's speed in no great
shakes either and I've never cared for the confusing way Microsoft
implements many of its more powerful features.

I can see how Nisus might not be the ideal word-processor for EVERYBODY
but what it has set out to do it has done well. My impression from the
people of Paragon is that they are not trying to create the
word-processor to replace all word-processors. What they are trying to
do is put out a very good product on the market that can stand up to the
other heavyweights. This I believe they have done admirably. No one says
that you should all switch to Nisus, but there's no denying that its a
valuable addition to the selection of wps Mac users have to choose
from.
