Michael:

Even though you mentioned that you do not need a document processor
I would like to use the opportunity to plug Wordflair II. I use 
Wordflair II for all my text processing on the Atari (the reason for that 
is that I have written some parts of it).

Anyway, it has all the features I need in a basic word processor like
tabs, indents, hyphenation, spell-checker, and automatic page numbering.

I get all this with decent looking output (yes it works great with FSM)
and once in a while when I do want to import a graphic or mail-merge a letter
to a couple of addresses I can do so without having to set up a new
program, convert formats and mess around with printer-drivers.

I think you should check out Wordflair II.  If you would like more 
information send me a note or give me a call at
