5.0 out of 5 stars Maybe it's the singer and not the song., July 18, 2003

I too am a prolific writer and I have always preferred WordPerfect over the clownish Microsoft Word that, as with all Microsoft products, is a simply Frankenstein of features lifted from the programs of other companies.

WordPerfect 8 was so buggy an inefficient that I came close to dumping the program. Happily, versions 9 to the present have been constant improvements over both its former incarnations and its competitors. I loved WordPerfect 10.

I now have WordPerfect 11. I admit I've only had it for a short while; so far, though, it has worked perfectly. It loads FASTER than former versions and certainly no slower than my version of Word 2002. It converts files to and from other formats. Publishes flawlessly to HTML and PDF. TextArt works much better than any previous versions or Microsoft's sad little imitation of it. It works perfectly with all my printers (and I have several types, models, and brands of printer rigged up to a wireless network) and I've had no problem -- with or without updated drivers.

I do admit with one embarassment -- that WordPerfect has nothing that comes close to competing with Mr. Paperclip, that cute little helper for Microsoft Word. I think if they had one, WordPerfect might sell a lot better.

I am reminded of a song from the sixties. It has become for me a metaphor for many aspects of life. It was called: It's the singer, not the song."

5.0 out of 5 stars OMG, it's even better!, May 10, 2003

I finally decided it was time to upgrade from WP Suite 8 to WP Office 11 on my home computer, just because I wasn't getting very accurate file conversions from things I bring home from work where we use MS Office 2000. I was used to WordPerfect 7 and 8 adding very little to what WordPerfect 6 had, so I was surprised today when I started writing a document from scratch with WP11 and stumbled across some serious new features just in the font selection dialog! It's apparent that WP11 is more than just an updated office suite. It really is enhanced word processing like you'll find nowhere else.
For those of you wondering whether to switch from that other office suite, I can't count how many times I've been at work using that other software and thinking, "This would be so much easier with Wordperfect," or "Why can't I do that? WordPerfect will do that." Or, "You've got to be kidding. I've spent half the day trying to do this only to find out it can't be done, when I could have gone home and done it on WordPerfect in less than half an hour."
Seriously, folks, this is one of those good things that people just don't know about because all they've ever seen is Word. Check it out, it's really cool! (And it's cheaper.)

5.0 out of 5 stars BETTER THAN YOU-KNOW WHAT, July 9, 2003

WordPerfect is simply better than the Big Alternative. It is simpler to use and it works intuitively. It also treats you like an adult: for example, you can place a button on your toolbar to close without saving or being prompted to save, which the Other Word Processor will not allow.

Its handling of columns, margins, tables, and in fact almost everything else is easier and offers more choides.

Above all, Reveal Codes (of which I understand the Opposition now provides a pale copy; imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!) solves problems over which you could otherwise scratch your head for ever.

I know, I know, it is not the most popular choice. So leave the Big W to the lemmings, don't follow the crowd, go with what's Perfect!
