My Mom just sent me an e-mail with an attachment in WordPerfect format. I still haven't been able to convince her to switch to Word. I think she's the only one who still uses WP.

Lawyers use it a lot. So do some government agencies. Go over to DOJ and it is all over that place.

Yeah, pretty much all of Ingham county, MI uses WP. However, we will be switching to Office in the next few years.

The official standard here at the CDC switched from WP to Word a couple years back, we still have some hard-headed users that refuse to switch over though.

We have one client that uses a Corel suite throughout the office, and another that has two holdouts that are still using WP 5.1 for friggin DOS.

EDIT: The holdouts are lawyers.

The standard here at work is Wordperfect still. I've been against it for the last 3 years but the most I got done was getting them to purchase a copy of office for me.

I still use WordPerfect on occasion. I also prefer Lotus 1-2-3 to Excel because Excel has problems with more than seven nested IF statements in a cell.

USDOT uses it. We get a ton of files from them. Why won't they just switch to word?

Do you mind elaborating on that?

Something about forms and what not.

How's that for elaborating. Succient and to the point with no ambiguity.;)

Yeah, the stupid Wisconsin DNR has their forms for permits in WP. They have a bunch of checkboxes except that I don't think they are checkboxes...they are just pics of squares. How in the hell am I suppose to put an X in them? Use the freestyle pen? Ugh.

I use it--sometimes. In order of preference Lotus WordPro, Wordperfect, MS Word. I still love the reveal codes stuff... my wife uses WordPerfect.

One of these days I might try openoffice but I just can't convince myself I need to learn one more office program...
