I'm pleased to see someone mention NisusWriter, which has been my word processor of choice for a dozen years. (I haven't looked at Word for several years now, and when I get a .doc I just open it in NW. Almost never do I run into a problem doing that.) The newly released NisusWriter Pro offers added capabilities, greater speed, and excellent stability. Since I'm not a writing or publishing professional, I thought maybe I was missing something obvious that kept NWP out of the conversation. But now that you mention it, Art. . . Perhaps for some of us who are weary of struggling with Word (and I do understand that not everyone fits this description) it would be worth spending some attentive time with NWP. My two cents, etc. Ray
