The cost is $0.00 == it is free. Download size is about 80 MB. Takes only a few minutes at high speed, but a long time for dialup. I have done both successfully.
WordPerfect compatibility? >From the Migration Guide: ************************************************************ What are the issues when migrating from WordPerfect to Writer? How do I install the WordPerfect filter? The WordPerfect filter is not available in the standard OpenOffice.org installation. See http://libwpd.sourceforge.net/ for more information about the WordPerfect filter. What macros are available to make Writer work more like WordPerfect? Reveal codes OpenOffice.org's Writer doesn't have underlying codes in the same way that WordPerfect does. But a macro is being written that will allow you to work in a similar way to WordPerfect's reveal codes. See the reveal code document available at http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/hillview/OOo/ for more information. Hanging indents The hanging indent concept in Writer is quite different from the concept used in WordPerfect. The best approach in OpenOffice.org is to use styles, but to ease the transition, see either AltKeyHandler.sxw or Indents.sxw available from http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/hillview/OOo/ for a macro that approximates WordPerfect's way of implementing hanging indents.

I've been using Corel Office7 on my Windows 98SE computer for years. I'm concerned about portability of my Paradox and Quattro Pro documents to XP or whatever follows it. I use a lot of macros. I'm particularly interested in your Calc spreadsheet and it's capabilities regarding macros, etc. I couldn't find this information on your web page. Is there a pdf file I can download with this type of information? Also, I couldn't determine the download file size or the cost. I hope to hear back from you at your convenience.
