I hate WordPerfect with the power and passion of 1,000 suns. I find myself having to use it for a particular project, and I would like nothing better than to utterly and completely destroy any trace of the evil, cloven-hoofed software from my computer. It's a disease.
At the moment, it can't figure out (despite the fact that I've told it many times) that I do not want everything I type to be boldface. I don't like boldface. I have no need for boldface. We've discussed it a number of times, but my message is just not getting through.
Ok, that's all the rant for now.
I understand that WordPerfect is heavily used in the legal profession, so you may have to bite the bullet ...
Still, if Micro$oft didn't have a boatload of undocumented APIs designed to make its own applications perform in a superior fashion to the competition (how is this not a monopoly?), there would be much better integration with 3rd party vendors' software. With WP, I've heard that there are a *lot* of application-specific drivers which need to be installed for full functionality, and even then, I hear the learning curve is steep.
Good Luck!
