Here are my hopes: -- Almost any computer (if it's small and I don't have it, I'll buy it, if it's large I'll get access e.g. UNIX) -- What you see is what you get -- Rulers, many of them, ones that stay in text and automatically reformat the text when it changes. -- Extended character set (overstrikes, unusuals and internationals) -- Headers, footers, title page, etc -- Automatic footnotes and/or endnotes -- Numbered paragraphs, also indented paragraphs (nroff macro style) -- Table of contents and indexing capabilities -- Multiple files Word processors that I have used but have not been satisfied with: Word-11, DecWord, Vi/Nroff, and WordStar Basically I am looking for a good word processor to write technical and university style work on. Please send me e-mail on what word processor you use and how it stacks up... Bjorn Benson
