Author Topic: Word Perfect Sucks (Read 457 times)

Simply put, I hate this word processor. The Feds have mandated its use in govt becuase of thier anti-MS policy. Funny, they cringe when I reccomend a change to firefox. Maybe the policy is to change only to crappy programs.

Anyone have an opinion re WP?

Havent used it for years. When i did, i belive it pretty much was the only serious option (early 90's)

How could they have made it worse when they have had so many years to perfect it?

One small example: If I type" UNited States " it asks if I want to change "UNited" into UNITED as opposed to United. MSWord would auto change it to the latter.

Word would suggest, "uninvited", then change the font on all pages when you selected it.

Who on earth would want a computer program to guess and correct what you type? The whole function is both annoying and futile.
