I'm in the market for a word processor (my wife needs to write a term
paper).

I posted several weeks ago to c.s.a.applications, and no one responded,
so I'll try here.

AC magazine had a nice writeup about Gold Disk's Office program which
includes a WP, DB, Spreadsheet, and a scaled down ProPage.

I called Gold Disk for information, and to my surprise they had none
(how can you not have sales info. for a $300 package?). In addition,
only the WP and ProPage parts work on 2.0 (I have an A3000).
The gentleman in Tech Support said they were going to fix it to run
under 2.0, but didn't know when. The bottom line is I didn't get 
a warm, fuzzy feeling about this.

What are the recommendations from the old-timers? I've heard good things
about Excellence and ProWrite.
