Microsoft Word vs WordPerfect

Years ago, I used WordPerfect for all my academic papers. I felt the program was more friendly toward that type of writing, easier to cite, create footnotes, end notes, bibliographies, etc. As Microsoft Word no longer comes as part of the operating system package, I have been considering my options.

My question is two-fold; is WordPerfect still a good product? Is it superior to Microsoft Word? What do professional writers prefer and why? (Yeah, that's three. I guess I'm a heavy tipper.)

Thanks.

Right justified tab would do this. Place it on the right margin and hit tab.

Back in the Day, I used Professional Writing Package (PWP) by Emerging Technologies (defunct) out of Boulder, Co. A collection of three packages. Edix was the editor. I LOVED that editor.

I think I’ve got it in a DOS/Windows VM around here, somewhere.

You’ve actually done that ..??.. you’ve typed two words on the same line at each margin.

I’ve done everything but stand on my head .. and I cannot get it to work.
