Ventura is a DISMAL word processor. There is an excellent add-on spell 
checker froma terribly-run company (VP to the MAX), but that's about the end 
of it. Avoid doing text entry in VP at all costs. Scribbling on paper and 
running it through a scanner would probably be better.
If you can get VP for Windows to work well (I'm still having problems aafter 
six months), you will have a wealth of excellent word processing options 
that will work cooperatively with VP.

Don't forget that PageMaker in it's soon to be released verr 4.0 for the PC 
will have a built in story editor. This is bound to slow the program down, 
but will probabl;y work nicely with your desires.
