- What was the price? I'm looking for a _simple_ word processor for
- my father who has a very low end printer. I tried FinalCopy on the
- printer and it looked awful since it didn't use the built in fonts
- of the printer. I take it that QuickWrite _does_ use the printers
- built in fonts (from your above statement). Can you confirm that
- for me?
