This is a question from a friend of mine (actually 2 questions):
I need a new word processing program. I have been using wordstar
for a couple of years now, on an AT. Needless to say, WS doesn't
treat directories kindly. This new wordprocessor must:
- do proportional spacing
- have the capability of printing and displaying several different fonts
- what you see is what you get format
- be able to print on a dot matrix or daisy wheel printer
- be able to access the directory structure of DOS
- be easy to use (my secretaries should be able to use it easily)
- do all of the other silly things wordstar does.
although i don't need a spelling checker, mailmerge, etc
secondly i was wondering if there are any programs similar
to Page Maker for the Macintosh. I have tried using Write
with Microsoft Windows, but it doesn't always print accurately.
Also the proportioning of the drawings are all wrong.
write prog
any recomendations or opinions would be greatly appreciated.
