I agree with Mohamed El Louadi, Ph.D., who recommended DrawPerfect,
but I recommend you get the DrawPerfect for DOS, it is a very capable
program and of course exports its product seamlessly to all versions
of WP.  Where to buy it?  There is a vendor of obsolete software whose
catalog I receive from time to time, I believe I saw the program in
there for under $30.  I can't recall the name of that vendor however.
I am a user of WPWin 6.1 and also of its WPDraw program, and the files
created by the combination suffer from severe "byte bloat"- they are
unreasonably huge.  Another option is to do your drawing in AutoCad
LT, then convert the product to *.DXF format, then import into WP
which can recognize the *.DXF format pretty well.  Good luck!!
