Hmm... My wife uses WordPerfect, and prefers it to / was unimpressed by
MicroLimp Werd 4 Windoze. I use the MS product, 'cause it's free; my group
leader bought it, along with Excel and Windows, under the assumption that
"they were all written by the same company, so they should all work fine
together, right?" -- but that's another tale of sorrow and shame...

An interesting point-- MS Word's easter egg shows an animation of a bunch
of tiny men beating down a huge "WP" monster. When WP for Windows was first
released, my wife had no end of grief getting it to work properly. She said
that WP's tech support was great, though the person helping her kept
cursing Microsoft under his breath...

    ...has anyone here tried loading the "best of windows shareware" file
(a windows Write document) into Word 2.0? It chokes on me. Gee.... you'd
think MicroFlaccid could write a working filter for one of their own.....
