I have owned every version of WordPerfect since 5.1

Just bought this and it realyl shows Word to be the pile of crap that it is.

I do everything in flash, dreamweaver and php. It's a bitch to have a secretary make a correction.

I take care of a law office that uses version 10. For one, it has much better form control. Although V.10 seems to be an unstable peice of junk! :(

Go smoke some more pot and leave us alone.

What does pot have to do with open source software?

hippie socialist ideals ya pothead, if you werent so strung out all the time youd realize that ;):p

I'm a BSD user. I stick to alcoholic beverages in mass quantities. Every geek out there owes open source/free software big time. No BSD = no porn.

I read a job description that required someone to know how to write scripts for Wordperfect 5.1

I like WP9. It's easier to do table stuff with. Dunno what the big deal is; if you have a relatively recent version of MSO/Word, you should be able to open/convert WPDs. I tend to use Word just cuz it's convenient. But if I need to make a form or otherwise complicated flyer, WP is better.
Ooh, and it lets you edit actual CODE for your document! AFAIK, Word doesn't have any way to do that. Very very annoying to not have that ability when the program decides to indent stuff weird or does something bizarre and all you can do is backspace, tab, delete, etc.
