I am a very happy user of Word2.0 for Windows.  I just wish it did not use 
so damn much HD space!
About the previous question comparing WP for Windoze and Word 2.0...
Every publication I have read says that Word is more refined as a Windoze
appication, and easier to use because of that.  Wheras WP for Windoze is 
their forst Windows word processor.
Look here: we are comparing version 1.0 of a GREAT program to version 2.0
of a GREAT program.
Now, I said that I am a happy user of Word 2.0.
If I had the money, I would switch to AMI Pro 3.0 in a second, or wait for
WP 2.0.  (I only have Word2.0 because it came with my Gateway system).
Now, if we wanted to make a fair comparison, compare Word 1.1 to WP 1.0
WordPerfect is the hands-down winner.
And I can honestly say that NOBODY can even come close to the HIGH QUALITY
of WordPerfect's Tech-Support line.
When WP2.0 comes out, I will definately look for a "competitive upgrade"
from Word.  Not because I don't like the program-- I do.
I just like WordPerfect (the program, and especially the company), a 
whole lot more.

Just my 2 cents worth...
