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... Peter V.
