Just to add my opinion as a follow-up to the follow-up: I've been with WordPerfect since 5.0 so I'm more than familiar with the interface, despite certain changes after 5.0. However, the main reason I stayed with WP was the WordPerfect Character Sets, i.e. special characters that WP will either create as graphic images or from fonts that may exist in whatever printer. I transliterate a lot of Arabic, Persian, and South Asian languages such as Urdu and Hindi, so the ability to produce vowels with macrons and consonants with dots and double dots beneath them is a necessity. When I migrated to Windows, the choice of a Windows-based word processor hinged on this. WordPerfect for Windows was the only package that I found could do this. Again, pretty selfish, but hey, it was my money. +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Dr. Wayne R.
