Re: OT: I HATE WORD PERFECT
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.

Re: OT: I HATE WORD PERFECT
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.

Re: OT: I HATE WORD PERFECT
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
Plus, it definitely IS better than 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.  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.)  |

Re: OT: I HATE WORD PERFECT
Yep. There's a pretty steep learning curve to Word Perfect. It's not too bad once you get used to its ideosyncracies. After two or three years, that is.

Re: OT: I HATE WORD PERFECT
I turn off those auto-format features in Word because I have had so much trouble with them.
