The real point of comparison is not what both program do but
what one does that the other does not. Here is a little list to
start things off, things that Microsoft Word does that I don't
think WordPerfect does:
Word...
...works with a mouse
...lets you split the screen into multiple windows
...lets you view different parts of the same document
simultaneously in the different windows
...lets you edit different documents simultaneously in the
different windows
...automatically does footnotes (in a different window)
...shows character attributes (such as italics and
superscripts and underlining) on the screen
...allows a dictionary per document (handy for proper nouns
which exist only in that document)
...allows a user dictionary in addition to the main
dictionary (handy for the proper nouns and abbreviations
used by that particular typist)
Does WordPerfect do these things?
