What do you need to do?  If you need absolute flexibility and control
over the layout, including graphics, get Aldus Pagemaker 4.0.  Microsoft
Word for Windows (also known as Winword and W4W) is a great WP, with
a powerful macro language and almost adequate layout.  Ami Pro isn't
quite as good a WP as W4W, but has better layout.  WordPerfect for
Windows will be out soon.  WordStar Legacy for Windows has just come
out and looks promising if their ads are based in reality.  And there
are other choices; what's your price range and what do you need?
