Sory to take up bandwidth, but I can't seem to mail a reply...

I agree with Mr. Peirce that Microsoft Word should be avoided
by beginners.  I use WriteNow for all my work (and I'm not a begin-
ner) because it has all the features I need, while being easier to use
and much faster than Word.  I haven't used MacWrite II, so I can't
compare them.  You can get a free version of WriteNow--called
"sample WriteNow"--from anyone who has the real thing:  it's only
limitation is that it adds a header to every page.  So you could get that
and try it out.

John.
