Regarding VizaWrite....
For some unknown reason, it defaults to 5 inch width of printout. See that
"ruler" when you first start typing? It's in inches of paper. Grab the 
right hand margin, drag it over to about 7 inches and printouts will look
a lot better.  Re: bogging down, I agree - that's its worst "feature."
The publisher tells me the new version just received from the developer in
England is MUCH faster... NO delay from keyboard to screen at all. I hope
to have this new version shortly and will be able to verify this for 
myself (and yawl).
Regarding quality of printout - I have yet to see Amiga fonts scritch out
onto my 9 pin Epson JX80 any better than VizaWrite does them. And a
24 pinner will produce simply astounding results.  Now... if we could get
this kind of font output whilst getting all the features of WordPerfect...
well, time will tell I spose :-)
