Hi, there,

   I am look'n for some advise for a wordprocessor.  I am thinking of
buying a word processor for my 286 machine without math coprocessor.
Basically, what I need is a word processor that can help me to do my
reports in school ( 10-30 pages ), that have a good user interface, and
have enough power for my future use even after I graduate.  
   I am considering MS Word 5.0 and WordPerfect 5.0.  I can get Word
for $89 and WordPerfect for $135.  I know WordPerfect is well known, but
Word is more affordable.
   What's your suggestion?

Rick
