The office I work in used to have Corel’s WordPerfect, which I loved. I could do wonders on it. Then they cheaped out and decided to settle for Microsoft Word, which I hate because it is awkward and counter-intuitive. And I’m not real fond of Mac’s word processing, either.

Amen for Word Perfect! Still use it.

parsy, who can’t figure out Word on a lot of things

Yes!! WordPerfect will always be the best. We all got sucked in to Word when Gates was pre-installing that crap in new computers and I’ll never forgive Gates for that. MS Word is like a toy word processor compared with WP.

No kidding. In college (mid-90s) I used WordPerfect and it was very user-friendly. I remember formatting page numbers (e.g., on documents with multiple sections) as one of the things that WordPerfect did intuitively while getting MS Word to do it was like pulling teeth.

I've been using Corel Word Perfect for many years. Microsoft Word always seemed primitive when compared with Word Perfect.

Try Google docs. It's free and you can access your files from any computer. There is nothing to download or install. The application works in your web browser. All you need is a Google account.
