I agree that Write is suitable for a lot of simple word processing
chores. I do almost all my simple letters and memos on it. I
usually save Ami Professional for longer more complicated documents
that need more complex formatting, like multi-column output. The
ability to save in Microsoft Word format is handy also, since I some-
times write articles for a newletter that is edited on a Mac using
Word. I write the article with Write, then save it in Word format,
then copy it onto a floppy and take it over to a friend who has a
Mac. We hook my laptop to his Mac and then transfer the article
over and save it onto a Mac floppy. I can then send the floppy to
the newsletter.

I use Write with an external spelling checker program.
