Terry,
	If you insist on staying on UNIX for document processing, my suggestion
is to get your site a PostScript(tm) compatable laser printer (i.e. Apple
LaserWriter+, Dec PrintServer40, IBM, HP, etc ) and install a set of filters
created by Adobe Systems (the parents of Postscript) to allow BSD/SysV to
communicate with these devices.  They allow standard lineprinter in addition
to troff and ditroff output.

	As to the word process aspect of you problem, if *roff is not to your
secretarys liking, I suggest something like Scribe(tm) which is a full blown
word processor.

HOWEVER ! ! ! I would suggest you get those users a Macintosh Plus or SE
with a LaserWriter+ and on of many word processors like Microsofts' Word.
Within a few months you will be able to use your Unix system as a file server
using a software package by Centram call TOPS and hardware by Kinetics called
Fastpath.
