I've used Papyrus, Tempus Word, and AtariWorks. Papyrus seemed to work
best for my purposes (MS Word compatibility and Web publishing). Tempus
Word was good, but lacked some features I needed in some areas and had
too many features in others, and the UI was hard to look at (small,
jumbled together black and white icons bug out my eyes). AtariWorks was
decent, but very basic. If you're not looking for "bells and whistles",
then it might work best for you. It all depends on what you're looking
for. If you're more into DTP, PageStream was good.

"That's Write" from Compo in the UK was superb and I wish Pagestream
was still around it was great for it's day and they were going to port
it to the Mac - dunno wot happened with that
