I have recently purchased the Excellence! word processor from MSS, and, well
I dont' want to say it sucks, but the more I use it the less I like it.  Even
a slow touch typist can get way, way, way ahead of it.  It has a number of 
other problems, one of which includes the fact that it f**ked up a 2500 word
paper on me that I had to do again.  Anyway, the purpose of this posting is
not to hack the program to pieces.  I would like to know what THE best word
processor is for the Amiga, and don't say WordPerfect because it is not
Amigized.  Some basic requirements are: WYSIWYG (WP is not), ability to move
graphics into it, speller, thesaurus ... I guess that covers it.  Oh, macros
would be invaluable too!  I used to see a word processor advertized by the
name of VizaWrite, I went looking for it in my Amiga mags last night and
could not find it.  Is this little critter still around?  

Thanks in advance for you help.  Maybe if people email info to me I can
summarize and post the results.
