the *first* port of WP to windows was a push to GUI and WYSIWYG ... but even the Corel Suite with WP8 was better than Word in my opinion ... and I *still* miss the Reveal Codes feature * maybe I disliked Word because it was so different from WP and what I had been used to, a whole new learning curve ... for my 76 year old Dad, I still have him using Corel Suite 8 with WordPerfect because it works, and is easy for him ... YMMV

WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS was a thing of beauty. WordPerfect 5.2 for Windows was a steaming pile. In my opinion. Ben M.
