NOTE: Make sure the printer
you
intend
to
use
with
this package
is
supported directly
by
AtariWriter
or
by
an
optional
AtariWriter
printer
driver
(available separately). A
printer
driver
is
a
software program (diskette format)
that
enables
AtariWriter
to
work
properly
with
selected non-
Atari printers. This program
is
available
through
APX, discussed earlier in this chapter.
Letter
Perfect
is
perhaps the most
powerful
word
processing package available for the Atari,
but
there are trade-offs involved. If offers far
more
text
manipulation commands than other
packages and
will
support the special features
of
almost
any
printer. The disk version also sup-
ports
the
81T3
80-column board mentioned in
Chapter
4.
The instruction manual, however,
is
somewhat
unclear in certain areas and
is
slow
reading. The multitude
of
different
commands
and options make this package more
difficult
to
master
than
most.
More
suitable for professional
writing
applications.
Spell
Wizard
is
an
electronic dictionary. While
not
a
word
processing package itself,
it
lets
you
quickly check text created
with
your
word
proc-
essing program for proper spelling. A
lifesaver
for anyone typing long documents
or
important
reports.
