I'm not having any trouble in draft mode with 217,000 words. I'm content with that. What really took me a while is learning to adjust to having my desktop visible outside the program window.

I'm a new Mac-user, and I'm a writer. So I've got Appleworks and the Word demo as well as demos of NWE2, Mellel, and something else (can't remember at the moment). NWE2 is by far my favorite of the lot. I've used Word and WP on Windows in the past. Better than both. I love the feel and the setup, th...
