I use FullWrite Pro and always use style sheets instead of choosing the styles
directly from the style menu. I usually write the text with a more legible
font and then change the sheets so that I get a smaller font for printing.

Style sheets allow me to experiment with the look of my documents. I often
have two styles that look the same, but have different names. I can then
change the other style (maybe underline it) if I want them to be different.
You can't do this with Nisus styles.

Nisus is ok for a person that doesn't want to think about document formatting
while writing. My mother uses Nisus and she is very happy. She has never heard
of style sheets and previously used MacWrite. The multiple file search and
high speed are what she really needs.
