I traveled the WordStar-WordPefect route. Still use WordPerfect (X6)
today. Like the "reveal codes" and -- for me -- the ease of mixing
pictures and graphics with text in reports. Also use Word a lot for
client work.

i quite liked wordperfect too on DOS. extremely powerful and it was a
quite a transition from something else called wordstar. circa 1991, my
doctoral thesis was written using wordperfect. a little after windows
came and conquered, i switched to linux.

Quoting John Coyle <[email protected]>:
First WP software I used was WordPerfect - the name tells a lie,
it was an absolute nightmare to use
compared with Word, when Word arrived I switched in a heartbeat!
I also used Lotus WordPro, not as
good as Word in some ways but had advantages in others - like
allowing me to define a custom
envelope size before Microsoft acknowledged sizes other than
American. Sill use it for some
purposes - you can tell it was well-written software when it was
created in 1997 and still works on
Windows 7.
