Features:
	The outliner is seamlessly integrated into the product
	The spelling checker is really nice and does some other very
		rudimentary grammar checks (caps after period, homonyms,
		2 spaces after periods, auto document dictionary, ...)
	You can import just about any file type if you get "Express" version.
		The regular version handles MacWrite, ThinkTank, Text, Word,
		PageMaker.
	Dialog boxes have command key equivalents for most buttons
	Auto-save
	Multiple windows on a single document (outline of it, text of it,
		other stuff I haven't figured out yet)
	You can change the startup defaults
	Spell check only changed paragraphs
	Helps track revisions so your proof-reader only need look at what 
		is new
	Good search/replace functions
	Table of Contents generation
	On-line help
	Good manual
	Nice tech support people
	Good price
	loads of other features I haven't tried out yet.
Hope that helps.
