I really love WriteNow.  I used MacWrite (5.0) at work for a while 
and really could not stand it.  The spelling checker is abominally slow.
There's a lot to WriteNow.  They give a suggestion and hints book but
not a demo.  There is a tutorial that is preetty quick and gives you
the basics.  There's also a some great package deals going from T/Maker.
Like getting a Thesaurus, and Grammar checker.  For some extra cash
you get SuperPaint, a spreadsheet (Full Impact?), and a Data Base (Record
Holder Plus).  But these packages may change.  I haven't checked in
a while.  Also be sure to get 2.2, it fixes some things in 2.1 and returns
some features that were taken out of 2.1
