To whoever would like to offer comments:

	I've been using WordPerfect at my local university's computing
facilities for quite some time but recently discovered how neat it
is to be able to work in a multitasking, windowing environment such
as MS-Windows for the 386 machines.  I heard a lot about Microsoft
word for windows being a good wordprocessor of the same caliber
as WordPerfect 5.0 & 5.1.  What are the big differences between the 
2?  What will I be able to do in one that I won't be able to
do in the other?  I will be getting a Zenith 386SX pretty soon and will
need to get a good wordprocessing package
that can do both text & graphics.  I would like capabilities as
close to WordPerfect as I can get but that I can run in MS-Windows and
be able so resize windows and not have to run something with a pif
file.  Any & all comments on the above are welcome & encouraged.

Thanks,

Dominic Caffey
