Can't comment on WordPerfect or Word. Only experience is with 
AppleWorks and Volition System's (alas, no longer with us :-(   ) ASE Apple 
Pascal Editor on ][e and ][c, and RUNOFF on DEC. Of these, AppleWorks clearly
wins. Enhanced with full complement of Beagle Bros. Timeout accessories. It's
good on the ][c (386K Apple memory), great on the ][e (3 Mb Applied Engineering
RanWorks), Transwarp, mouse.

Haven't started using WorkPerfect on IBMs and PC transporter yet. V5.0 gets
very good reviews. If it turns out to be great, might induce trying Apple 
version. However, for now, AppleWorks-Timeout meets all my needs (except 
that a communication program would be nice).
