Better Working Word Publisher 5.0 is a powerful word processor with all the important style and layout features you need to create terrific looking documents. It's designed for those of you who depend on word processors for planning, writing and perfecting text, but also want to add pizzazz and snap to your work by including new fonts, columns, boxes, lines, and clip art images.

Word processing plus.

It also comes complete with a fully integrated outliner, an auto-hyphenation feature, a 100,000 word spell corrector and a thesaurus.

Style and layout too!

And you can mix graphics and text by bringing images from hundreds of commercially available clip art collections right into the program. Need to emphasize an important section? Simply add lines or place a box around it. Or for a newsletter style layout, use the multi-column format with up to four columns on a page.

Obvious-to-use.
