Subject: RE: BS: Writers, again - Preferred WP Programs?

I have been a WordPerfect fanatic since I started with 4.2, going successively to 5.1, 6.0, 7.0, and now in transition to 9.0. I find that I'm hopelessly dependant on the "reveal codes" feature for formatting purposes. My beloved bride, on the other hand, sticks with the MS Works word processor. Somehow we manage to overcome this, among all the other obstacles to a happy marriage, that we have faced.
A good friend who is a computer professional once made the statement that "WordPerfect 5.1 was the last good word processor." But he never explained quite why.
Peter.
