How do you use "all the different fonts and pitches"?  As far as I
know, ProWrite 2.5 and earlier doesn't have any method of using more
than one printer font or pitch in a document.  You might be able to
imbed printer codes somehow, but then you won't get anything close to
WYSIWYG.  The 3.0 ads claim to support a few printer pitches, but
older versions do not.

Also, I notice that the 3.0 ad says that it requires 1Mbyte of memory.
I suppose this means I can't use it on my 768K A1000 (512K + 256K from 
kickstart eliminator).  Memory inflation strikes again...
