Wordprocessor and Unicode

[mowestusa]

Hello,

Do you guys and gals know of a Wordprocessor that handles Unicode text
well?

I use Wordperfect 10 for my main Wordprocessor but it doesn't have unicode
support. I was wondering if there was a freeware option available.

Features I would like:
- Unicode Support (so that unicode text is displayed correctly in Greek and
Hebrew languages.)
- Paragraph styles or macros that can quickly change the fonts that are
used in a selection.
- Spell checker (not a must)
- Drag and Drop support
- RTF save would be nice too

I looked at AbiWord and Atlantis Nova, but I don't know if they have
unicode support or not.

In case you are curious I would like to use the program with my Bible study
software, Logos which uses full support of unicode to display text.

Thanks for the help,

AbiWord does it well and has all the features above (but macros).
2.0.1 is about to be released next week (for Windows, UNIX, QNX).

Get KeyNote. Trust me. [ http://www.tranglos.com/free/index.html ] It comes
with WordWeb thesaurus, which can be used as a great electronic dictionary,
BTW.

Hmm, I think TextShield Fusion can do all that stuff, too--let me check...

Yep. (Except it puts a linked icon in the document when you
drag-and-drop...) TextShield Fusion has macros, spell-checker, RTF--plus it
can play an MP3 (or other song) while you work! Not necessary, but me likes
it! [ http://members.lycos.nl/textshield/promote.htm ]
