For me, it depends what I'm doing. If I don't want WYSIWYG, I use Protext. However, I'm starting to use GoldEd a lot more, especially as I re-installed it and got more options than I had before. Obvious;ly, when I first installed it (many years ago), I didn't know what half the options meant so left them out!

Both are quick, good spellchecking (Protext is especially fast in long documents) and easy to use.

If I want beytter layout, graphics etc, I use WordWorth V7. It also prints to my Postscript printer very quickly and higfh quality. Often, I use one of the 1st two and then import into WW.

Obviously, for high quality & ultimate layout, I use Pagestream, but that's not (just) a word processor ;)

Windows version is actually pretty good and has better font support. One stupid thing though is it uses as different file format than the Amiga version (but it allows to convert between the two).


Thank you for the information - now I've just to find someone selling his copy. :-) File format doesn't matter, I'd just like to use it for casual smaller documents not worth firing up the emulator, i.e. the stuff I'm doing with Word normally.


I have a copy which has remained unused for years. Still in it's box & big, heavy manual. Because of the weight, I don't think it would be cheap to post but I could check if you want? I would only want £5 + postage, if that's of interest?
