with respect to your se, word 5.1 works very well indeed - i use it on all my old macs because it opens pretty well ANY file, isn't a pain in the arse like some other word versions, and doesn't take up much room if you only use the program and not all its extra bits, allows you to drag and drop text even with system 6, and will run quite happily in 1 meg ram
have tried numerous word processors, but this still has the edge - also, once a long file is open, it scrolls through it and reformats much faster than things like macwrite, word perfect, clarisworks, write now, tex edit there is nisus compact (free) which runs well and has interesting features, but word 5.1 still kills it in terms of opening files, and being able to be read by other computers wow - never thought id be supporting micro$oft like that! i use word and excel on the macs at work, not because its impossible to translate these files when i get them from pc s etc - its just easier and saves time - i know when i send the documents everyone else can read them - its a shame, but i put it in the same basket as learning another language when you live in a foreign country - its good that lots of people speak english in holland for example, but if you want to communicate freely and quickly, its good to learn dutch! sorry for the long rave, must be a friday afternoon! btw all of these other processors are available free on the internet.. have fun! -- Jan Wawrzynczak General Manager Canberra Youth Theatre PO Box 127 Civic Square ACT 2608 tel 02 6248 5057 fax 02 6248 5733 web www.cytc.net -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
