Jonna Schmidt Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 I am dedicating this machine to Accordance and to Bible study. So I need to hear from veteran users what they consider the finest word processor, especially for Greek and Hebrew texts. It also needs to be somewhat Microsoft (can I use that word on this forum?) compatible (i.e. files which can be read by MSWord - my laptop is PC). I have heard of Word for Mac, Mellel, and Note Bene. What suggestions can you give me. I know that Mellel is probably a better word processor for Hebrew et al....but, just to put forth another name besides Word, Mellel and Nisus, I would recommend Mariner Write. I have to say that I like it very much. It is very intuitive and seems to handle any imported text from Accordance very well. They have a demo at http://www.marinersoftware.com/sitepage.php?page=12. It is a very fast, small footprint, economical word processor with good support. Give it a try. pr dave speers dspeers@altamont.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonna Schmidt Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Hi I am not an original language user. I can barely distinguish an Aleph from an Alpha. HOWEVER, even I would recommend Mellel, hands down. Some considerations 1. Inexpensive 2. Even I can tell that it does a better job with Hebrew. My pastor's son is going to seminary, and I was helping to get a G5 iMAC ready for him just a few months ago. Admittedly, all the programs will render a phrase such as DAY of the LORD as y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Webber Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Absolutely ... Mellel ... hands down the best choice. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
