Yes.  It's a great word processor.  I bought the upgrade, and I'm really happy.
_HOWEVER_ I have a question, as long as the subject came up.  I've been playing
with postscript on Excellence, and it seems that you need to use metric fonts.  This is fine, save that I want more fonts, and the only PD/shareware fonts seem
to be postscript source, and I'd hate to shell out $$ to buy fonts commercially (assuming somone knows of a source) only to have the same results (cluelessness)If this is documented in the instructions (I don't seem to recall it being therewhen I skimmed them) I appologize, but my docs are at home, and any help on how to make/get these .metric files would be appreciated.
