It features a variably transparent window, includes the most common RTF text attributes (bold, underline, font selection, etc), has an on-screen keyboard, one-click date/time insert, resizable workspace, and more.

This is an unusual word processor. For a start it doesn't place itself in the system tray at the bottom of the screen so, if you open another program over it, it is very hard to get back to the program.

Then you notice that it doesn't have a thumb bar down the right hand side of the screen when there is a large document loaded so the only way to scroll down and see text hidden below the bottom of the window (apart from using the mouse's scroll wheel) is to use the PageDown key. Very clumsy.

It also lacks a spell checker so don't expect to be able to check your spelling from within this program.

We did notice that it will load a large file so it doesn't have the 64kB limit imposed on Microsoft's Notepad but, while it does load a 4MB text file (albeit very slowly), it cannot load a 10MB file so there must be a limit somewhere between those two parameters. That probably wouldn't be very important anyway because, with the poor navigation within a document, you wouldn't want a very big text file to edit.

We did like the built-in on-screen keyboard.

For small letters and other documents that don't require a large screen (or the muscle of MS Word), Spine Page 07 could be worthwhile. It could also be worthwhile for novelty value.

However, as a serious RTF-based word processor it falls far short of others.
