Kat,

The trouble with bucking the trend of using Word is that you or others have to convert the text over to Word or Word-friendly software somewhere down the line. I was a happy user of WordStar, but they lost market share when they tried developing a "lite" program, and never caught up to Word and WordPerfect.

WordPerfect is still around and I know people who like it, but if you want to use text from there in print projects, you need to take it--you guessed it--into Word first, where the TrueText fonts are supported in a way that programs like Adobe Pagemaker can use.
