In a nutshell, WP gives mush more control over the document than SO.

Wayne,
I am somewhat familiar with your ongoing quest regarding WordPerfect and
your opinion of potential substitutes. I find the included WSJ article
interesting but it does little to explain, in detail, specific
issues/problems with StarOffice/OpenOffice encountered by you or Mr.
Mossberg. Do have a free cite to the acutal review by Mr. Mossberg?
I am interested in where the alternatives to WordPerfect fail, in your
or his opinion. Is it due to not performing as specified, don't have
the required features, don't work like WordPerfect, the user not being
familiar with the applications, or some other _______ (fill in the
blank)? "Too complicated, quirky and buggy" does not provide much
insight.
