Sorry to have to do this, but Amiga has no WP that easily, and effectively
supports multiple fonts on an HP Laser or DeskJet.

However, Microsoft WORD on the bridgeboard or Amax will work wonderfully.
WORD supports all the cartridges and available softfonts.  With WORD, you
can easily designate margins, etc. in either Inches, CM, Picas, or points
and the computer will do the work figuring out the spacing (unlike Word Perfect
where you must hand figure all the cpi X space over and over and still have fits
getting it right, if at all).  Word also allows multiple fonts that can be
picked by NAME, not "printer number x."  I would highly recommend it for
text intensive docs that will use the PRINTER'S fonts.
