OK, thanks. I've not been unhappy with Pages, so we'll see, but I may check it out. Best, Donna

I bought Nisus Writer long before Pages was as accessible as it is now. I like Open Office as well and I also like Bean, that's a very basic word processor but - given the fact its available to you for absolutely no charge whatever - it is a true give away.

The only options then for word processing would be Nisus Writer and Pages and of course open office. It does depend though on what you want to do. As I said Latex is fantastic, but sometimes it can be a litle time consuming especially when you've missed a brace or typed something incorrectly lol ----- Original Message ----- From: Justin Harford To: macvisionar...@googlegroups.com Sent: Saturday, September 05, 2009 3:42 AM Subject: Re: Macintosh Word Processor Software by Mariner Software I stoped holding my breath with Mariner a couple years ago. I remember they were going to make accessible software but the years went by and the versions went by and nothing happened. I think I'll continue to breathe normally.

Here is a link to another word processing software. I have not used this yet.
