* my first posting, how exciting *

I'm looking for a new wordprocessor. I've got an A500 with 1 Meg RAM and an
Epson LQ500.  This is what I'd like:

1) WYSIWYG (or reasonably close) particularly, in printing out to my printer.
2) spell checking
3) proportional fonts (my printers got 'em, I'd like to use 'em)
4) various font that meet 1)	(an extra, I could live with just the fonts 
				built into my printer)
5) import/incorporate graphics into the text 	(another extra , I could do
						without)
6) realtively cheap

I'm using an old version of Textcraft, which barely gets the small jobs done.
I've used Excellence and really like the features, but the printouts are not 
even letter-quality.  The fonts look fat and fuzzy.  I'm a Mac convert and 
have been spoiled by the various wordprocessors avialable to it.  Please 
respond by e-mail, or you may want to post it to this board since I saw
a simialr posting.
