Well, I'm getting around to looking for a new word processor, and I've come 
down to three choices. I need the Net's help after this point, though.
My choices are Nisus 3.xx, Word 4.xx, and WordPerfect 2.xx. 
 
I'm running a 2.5 
I'm running a 2.5 MB Mac SE with a 20MB HD under System 7.
I'm going to need to do serious work with this thing - very pretty 
documents, though not too long (30pp tops?) I want a nice dictionary, maybe 
a thesaurus, footnoting, basic page layout (columns, at least), maybe 
macros, good online help - essentially, power. I also want speed, however.
 
Can people who have used and/or compared these programs give me some pros 
and cons? If there is demand, I'll post a summary of replies.
 
Thanks,
----Sascha
