And WP still exists and is still thriving, AFAICT. I run WP X8 on my home machines, and version X9 is out since last year. I just haven't upgraded yet.
Use WP reveal codes on any reasonably complex MS document to see just what kind of cr*p is generated. It takes a long time to clean up the mess. My wife won't use anything but WP on her machine, and I don't blame her. AFAIK, MS still can't do lawyerly "Tables of Authority" at all. WP has done it forever, and as a result pretty much dominates the professional lawyer niche. Plus they have a huge medical office professional following for other features unique to that environment. And don't even try to do printed labels with MS. WP has done it right and easy forever.

Passive FTP ... ) Old WP users, among whom I count myself, mourn the loss of reveal-codes mode. When my company switched from WP to Word (which I still think was largely my fault), I judged that Word was easier to use for the easy things - italics and bold at keystroke, for instance - but harder to control for the more advanced things. I've figured out headers/footers, for example, footnotes, even indices and ToCs. But I struggle with them still. WP was better in that regard, in my opinion. --- This message and any attachments are intended only for the use of the addressee and may contain information that is privileged and confidential.
