Between Excellence 2.0 and MS-Word? Neither, depends on your tastes. I 
like Excellence better, especially against the Windows Word. It's a 
harder call against the Mac. Besides, if I happen to want to use Word for 
the Mac - I'll just run it under Amax.

Wow! Too bad I had no money. Or a printer - oh well....
