     I use Excellence! on my 3000 regurlarly, and like it VERY much thank
you!  :)  Resizing text might seem a little slow, but only if you reformat
the entire document, and how many times will you probably do that?  The
spelling checker works well and I really like PostScript output.  I should
also mention that Excellence! is the only Amiga word processor that supports
virtual memory, so it's possible to edit very large documents (900+ pages),
if this is a serious consideration for you, then you should consider
Excellence.
