I have moved to WordPerfect on the Mac, which I feel is much more compact
than Word 6.  It's very well optimized for the PowerMac and the Mac
architecture and I praise WordPerfect for not coming out with a Windows
clone of a Mac version, which cannot be said of Microsoft.  WordPerfect
for the Mac feels every bit like a Mac wordprocessor, and is surprisingly
much different, and much leaner than the Windows version. 

Rgds,
