Rough Draft is a very neat word processor. I have found it hard to choose between it and KeyNote (alas, no longer under development), which I use for a variety of small tasks.

There was an earlier discussion of TextMaker at the end of September, I recall, while the new TextMaker 2006 was still in beta. Like you, I am very impressed by its ability to handle quite complex Word files (footnotes, tracking, comments, tables, etc) and allow them to be passed to and fro between the two programs.

I am tempted to buy TM but, since I have an institutional (i.e. free) copy of Word 2003, I am finding it hard to justify the additional outlay. If I didn’t have Word, however, and needed to work with those who did, TM would be a very attractive proposition.
