I know you don't want WordPerfect but it is the best I've seen on the
Amiga.  They have done a fairly good job of Amigatizing it (most functions
are on pull down menus and they use sizable windows for the various
functions -- document, print menu).  When 6.0 comes out (I've heard they
are skipping past 5.0 for the Amiga) it'll have a view mode that'll give
you WYSIWYG.

The thesaurus and spell checker are the best I've seen.  And you can find a
thousand books on how to become an expert at it.

Students can get WP for just under $100.
