However, I do have Excellence!, and I have to say that I haven't been pleased. I have twice needed to produce term papers with footnotes using NLQ. Both times it failed. Micro-Systems Software recommended using Topaz 9 and 10 line spacing for the footnotes and Topaz 11 and 12 line spacing for the body. This fixed some of the problem; but, since I wanted double spacing, it wasn't a satisfactory fix. I have also noticed some other printing problems when using Excellence's 'Normal' (graphics) print mode, particularly on repetitions of horizontal lines (I lose the upper line on an '=', if I have multiple lines of equal signs this occurs consistently on say every fifth line (I don't remember the exact iteration)). Unless someone can recommend something better, I am considering getting WordPerfect and bagging Excellence altogether. Perhaps with a different printer, I would have had better luck, but...
