WordPerfect - PIECE OF CRAP!!!

May I preface this post by saying I just wish one person from WordPerfect  
reads this!!!

May I suggest some of the more talented NeXT programmers head to 1555  
North Technology Way in Utah and offer their services to WordPerfect  
Corporation free of charge for about a week to fix this app. 

We just purchased version 1.0.1 of WP and it sucks.  Granted, v1.0.1 fixes  
the COMMAND-B, COMMAND-I bugs; but, If you ever plan on doing any serious  
word processing, don't purchase WP.  And I don't consider what we are  
doing any serious word processing.  Sorry students, I am afraid you will  
find it in the labs.  

Users need to be able to edit text easily!  I would like the ease of use  
of WriteNow with character strike through and style management.  I also  
don't want to see TimeMon go crazy when I run WP and select some text.   
And I don't want to see a spinning disk everytime I highlight some text  
and select bold.  Do not use the INDENT function in WordPerfect and try to  
edit text.  You will find some new ways of displaying postscript text on  
the megapixel display.  

Granted there is more functionality in WP, but the functionality is no  
good if you cannot use the program.  Our office greatly depends on the  
capabilities of our word processors.  And it makes me look bad when a user  
wants a CompuAdd portable computer running AmiPro in Windows 3.1 over  
his/her NeXTStation Turbo.  

Appsoft says there next release will support drag and drop styles,  
character strikethrough, and multiple file formats.  Available in July.
