RE: You're a pointy-haired one...
I didn't say Corel created it. They do own it. WordPerfect is the main reason (more?) people don't use WordPerfect. I get it, you're a paralegal who only uses one program and types all day on an IBM AT. Some folks just like to go retro all the way. If I would walk into a law office using WP I would walk right out unless Matlock was representing me.

All the other word editors "edit" and "layout" and "automate" text. I had set up WordPro and Word to replace coworkers' industry shorthand with full construction terms. We used WP for a year before they asked me to find a Windows alternative when 5.1 was the standard. Not even our OLDER clerks asked for a return to WP.
