1 Absolutely agree! Word gets me furious within minutes - there's so much you can't do or do as easily as in WordPerfect. Formatting Word is an inflexible nightmare - tiny example I found today: you can't start columns in the middle of a page. Reveal codes makes it a work of seconds to get formats right when Word makes it either impossible or desperately difficult. Toolbars are easy to construct according to your personal preferences. I coudl go on and on. . .

WordPerfect and QuattroPro are far superior to Word and Excel. The little bit of time it takes to get used to them will be repaid many times over by saving time wasted trying to get Word and Excel to do what you want.
The good: WP's reveal codes is a brilliant time saver and problem solver. You can even search and replace codes, e.g., change tab to indent. It's amazing that Word still doesn't have this feature. WordPerfect tables also leave Word for dead. PDF compatibility is remarkable. Overall WP is far more intuitive and easier to use than the competition.
The bad: Not used by enough people, so unfortunately you will still have to use Word or Excel when sharing files. One good thing about this, however, it's a constant reminder of WP's and QP's superiority.
