Hello,

Here is my problem: I still use First Word Plus for my word processing
because I was using an editor and TeX for most of my documents. Now
some people around me want to use the ST as a  word processor for book-size
documents. Most of them are NOT your average computer freak, and they
would be rather repelled by the kind of command keystrokes you get with EMACS
(understand me: _I_ like EMACS!). So, they need something as easy to use as 1st
Word (i.e., lots of menu commands and on-line help), but later they should be able
to use faster command keystrokes after they have learnt the system. The
ideal would be a program like the Tempus editor, offering both keyboard and
menu commands, but in a word processor version.

So I would like to know what word processor program(s) you use, which
one you recommand, which one you hate.
Thank you for your advice.

Regards,
