I can't stand Word. I don't see how anyone can live without reveal codes, it just makes it so much easier to find stray codes.
It seems to me that Word Perfect was written by writers of documents, Word was written by computer programmers.
I started with a program called Select on a Xerox CPM machine. I also worked with Appleworks for the Apple IIe at home for years. I even played with Wordstar. Started with WP for DOS and still use it.
There are things I can figure out how to do in WP I have no idea how to do in Word.
