What's the difference between a "Desktop Publishing System" and a "Word Processor"? These are seperate categories in Amiga World's recent software buyer's guide. I'm in the market for a beast that's powerful and easy to learn. It should have a WYSIWYG editting interface for both text and graphics (charts and freehand) as well as a rich printer vocabulary (lots of different printer interfaces). I know I've seen scattered reviews of a few systems but at the time I had no money so no interest. E-mail'd responses will be appreciated! dave braun braun@thumper.bellcore.com
