OT: I HATE WORD PERFECT
 

God I hate this crappy program with all my heart!

Don't be hatin.

Seriously Geo, I tell ya, I was so mad about this I could have ripped that program from my PC a bit at a time with my bare hands....

All tha work seeminly lost.

But guess what, the program has a back up that for some miricle worked. I only Last the work that I had done over the Last fifteen minutes or so.

Still, OFFICE 2000 is a better program IMHO.

ANY programm is better than WP http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif . I wonder that this programm is still in use, I had my Last encounter with it about 10 years ago.
And there is no need to feed the big devil M$ just out of the desparation. Try Open Office instead.

And that's why I've stuck with MS Works 4.0 for the past what? 8 years? Still works great after all this time. A little slow maybe, but I can't complain too hard.

Open Office still has a while to go before it can compete with MS Office. Ok if you don't want to pay any money. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Agreed, it is up to discussion how much better MS Office is than Open Office. But as you mentioned, it's for free... and, another big plus, you're not feeding M$ when using it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif
Plus, it definitely IS better than Word Perfect http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Right, it beats the heck out of Word Perfect!

Re: OT: I HATE WORD PERFECT
 

One nice feature in Word Perfect was the ability to see the formatting code and make changes. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif Word likes to format the document itself and doesn't allow many of the changes I would like to make (such as revising indents, etc.) http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif
