After searching around for awhile, and reading through the few suggestions
I got from Usenetters, I've found that these two systems are available to me
at a low, low, educational discount price.  Word for $162 and WP for $99.

If anyone is familiar with the two, and could suggest one over the other, I'd
very much like to hear from you.  I am looking for software to do a small
newsletter.  I do not need anything especially powerful, but I want to do
columns, enlarged quotes, sidebars, imported MacDraw or MacPaint graphics,
and so on.

Please email, and I will post a summary if there's anything to summarize.
