Well, I won't call myself an incredibly loyal fan, but I've through the 
years found that - first classic NisusWriter and later the NWE and now 
NWP is the best tool for writing even very complex text documents.

When I bought my first Mac - a PowerBook 165 (still working fine) it was 
delievered with - in my opinion - one of the best ever made word 
processors of all time - the Microsoft Word 5.1a for Mac. When going PPC 
I switched to Word 6.x, but rather soon found that it was quite a 
disaster to work with in complex writings, so I switched to NisusWriter 
4.1.6. This word processor can do anything that MSWD 5.1a can + much 
more when it comes to complex multi-lingual texts.

Since then I've stayed with NisusWriter though I also have quite a few 
other word processors like MSOffice 2008, Apache OpenOffice 4.1.x, 
Mellel, LibreOffice, Pages, MarinerWrite etc., Each of my computers are 
set up in a local network with KVM for specific work, so if I need to 
use other word processors than NWP I just turn the one on with the 
needed software.

Cheers, Erik Richard
