Hi, I AM a Word Perfect user. I use Word Perfect Suite 8 Professional. Word Perfect seems to be able to do so much more, easier and better than Microsoft Word, especially with labels and envelopes. Microsoft Word is very anemic when doing labels or envelopes.
I also use Open Office 2.0 BETA (1.9.125). Primarily, I use OpenOffice to read and write Microsoft Office documents. OpenOffice 1.9.125 will easily read text and formatted text created from my Word Perfect. However, OO will not read graphics. or labels. Word Perfect 8 is very proprietary in that it will only read ASCII text files and Word Perfect files. It will not read M$ files.
