I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I've 
been sitting on the sidelines waiting for a really
good word processor for a long time.  I'm an 
occasional writer and I really like the ease of 
use of First Word.  In fact, with just a few more
features, First Word would probably fill the bill 
for someone like me.  The additional features I could
use are:

  1. A good spell checker. 
  2. Dual column printing.
  3. Readability index function.

Does First Word Plus have any of these features?

Are there secondary spell checkers that can also
measure the readability index?

Is Word Perfect debugged enough to be worth the
money and effort?
