I'm a fan of WordPerfect for some of the same reasons mentioned above, especially the Reveal Codes feature; that makes it easy to reformat text using "Find and Replace," for example (such as deleting hard returns or line breaks where you want the text to flow instead). In fact, I am still using WordPerfect 8 for many things, and earlier I used the DOS version and even set up books for publishing with it. I am glad to see WordPerfect making a comeback, though so far WP 8 is still going strong for me. I use it along with Word 2000, but prefer WP. (I am a software antiquarian, still running Windows 2000 on two of our five computers, XP on the others).
