Long documents never lost their formatting, there were never any unexpected page overflows that kept switching all the time, graphics were easily positionable and formattable – basically WP provided desktop-publishing-strength page layout abilities which I used to create all manner of documents – whereas Word wasn’t able to position graphics reliably until around 2000 or so, and still can’t be relied on for anything resembling stable pagination. Back then, I had the daily contrast of using MS Word 6.0 every day in high school to tell me: WordPerfect kicked the crap out of it. I started using it at version 6.0 (for Windows), and became addicted with version 6.1 (possibly the finest version ever put out, in my opinion it was also the first and last version to be put out by Novell – under the “PerfectOffice” moniker – before they sold the business to Corel). I used to be the biggest WordPerfect fanatic out there. I have WordPerfect Office X3, 2.1, and MS Office 2003 all installed on my computer, and the article stirred up some of the opinions that have gradually come to settle in the depths of my mind. This is a response to the first part of the word processor review recently featured on.
